Microsoft reiterates support for PC gaming

These past few years, PC gamers have bombarded Microsoft with criticism regarding the company's perceived lack of support for PC gaming. Microsoft has countered, saying that it's their job to lead but first-party publishers must pick up the slack as well.

“Other companies should look to Microsoft for leadership, but I’m not sure they do," Microsoft Games Studios’ general manager Dave Luehmann told MCV in an interview. "It is our job to lead the way on PC. And in some ways we are doing that and in other ways we are not. So we need to step up.

“I think it is the responsibility of first parties to push the business models in to new directions. We will test some ideas – some will work and some won’t,” he added.

Luehmann further reiterated Microsoft's commitment to PC gaming by rattling off a few upcoming titles and hinting at more in the future.

“We are putting some real investment and big IPs behind the Windows platform. We’ve spoken of the first three, Fable III, Age of Empires Online and Microsoft Flight. However we are not going to stop there.”

PC Gaming takes little to no effort to pirate, hence why articles keep coming out about why people don't want to develop for it, most of the money used in PC Gaming, are hundreds to thousands of dollars on a rig...to pirate a 50 Dollar game since the specs are so ridiculous, to do the same thing you could do on a 200-300 dollar console like PS3 or Xbox 360...Of courses PC Gamers would defend it to the death, since they only look at the processing speed, and what have you on all the small technicalities. Even if you just met the system specs for a PC Game, the PS3/Xbox 360 solution would be the better buy.

You better stuff a dick in your mouth - it doesn't say anything true anyway. You fail so much with your post that it is impossible to remove wrong points from it as it will leave empty box.

Your comment was invalidated by your lack of vocabulary. M$ stopped porting their big name Xbox games to PC for this reason. Look on Youtube, there's a ton of tutorials on how to run GFWL games on there without paying. So basically, post 2 shows fail city population = Rowaa

If Microsoft was really supporting PC gaming, Xbox exclusive DLC would be released on their GFWL versions, but that isn't the case.
