I know who miles is. His attempts at hilarious troll posts are quite obvious the last few days.
This post didn't seem to be one though. Or I just happened to miss the funny. Which is totally possible.
I thought the gif gave it away....
MS own Minecraft and that was very recently released on Vita.
The more the merrier.
I'll take it as another sign that MS realized they are losing more than gaining keeping their games off PC.
Xbox One so far has been outpacing the 360 'even though' key exclusives or once-exclusives got a PC version. Titanfall, DR3, Ryse, Garden Warfare.
Most of the people who are eying on getting a console don't care if the game(s) are also on PC as long those games aren't on the direct competitor console.

??? Hahaha. This game will definitely hit PC...eventually. Second party games have no reason to miss out on PC sales, especially since the console architecture this gen is so PC.
I personally think this game will be quite mediocre. I enjoyed Infamous 1 & 2, but found myself finishing the game with very little joy left. These games need more diversity. I suffered the same listless feeling with my Shadow of Mordor play through.
It was already in production before the acquisition and Phil's expressed his intentions to keep the game multiplat
Fixed. Would love to see someone play that one off as "Poor <insert console>".

If this is true, I really like MS's approach to gaming. I don't think there's a single IP (besides Souls) that could drag me to buy an xbox one, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't buy the game if it were available on PC. Now if only Sony took a similar approach, I'm too spoiled by DS2 @ 60 fps.

It wont hurt x1 is this came out on pc, titanfall sold a shitload despite pc and x360
I know I would, and this what I was trying to say in my post before. STEAM having competition on PC from MS would be great. If that's the case we'll get to play Gears 4 on PC.

Sony and Nintendo will never take that approach as it devalues your platform. Microsoft does it because the majority of their exclusives are made by 3rd parties and it probably cheaper to acquire the games by allowing a PC release down the line.

The Sunset Overdrive Streaming thread went very far. 480 posts.
Do it, because I'm interested in this!
That game was made before minecraft was bought
No i wouldn't. Not when i get an equivalent catalog on steam (and any other DD platform), for free. And halo and forza aren't worth an XBOX LIVE subscription - i would have bought an xbox if i felt they were.
Pad support is not an issue either, the games that need it, have it.
I don't understand why Microsoft would NOT want their internal games to come to Windows PC and thus also MS SURFACE.
Those are two of their big products they are trying to push against Apple, their biggest competition. Strengthening the games on Windows and Surface only helps them in the end. It's a win/win for them. "PC" (i.e. Windows platforms) is their bread and butter, it isn't the competition for the Xbox.

Frankly, at this stage it should be everyone's working assumption that any new IP from Microsoft Studios will get a PC version after the fact. Pretty much Forza is the only Microsoft franchise to have yet to get a PC version.

You may be right. I don't have any experience with GFWL but how I envision Xbox as a service is booting up the good ol Xbox one UI on a PC and being able to download and play like you would on the XB1. If that is unfeasible just release published games via steam and watch the money roll in. The only downside is messing with their hardware strategy but there are always gonna be people who want to play on PC primarily and others that want the simplicity of buying a console for games.
There is one other downside and that is losing every damn list war due to giving up games as "exclusive" but who the hell cares aside from internet console warriors?
Anti-consumer? You seemed to be confused here. Insomniac is their business partner, not their customer and the platform in question here (Windows) is still a Microsoft platform.
MS is doing what they can do to maximize the amount of money MS can make. If they could have gotten Insomniac to sign the contacts and give up ownership they would have, as Sony and Universal did before them and EA would have if they could have.
None of these companies are your friends and they are all as "anti-consumer" as they can make themselves without taking heat or violating law over it, and even then they sometimes overstep those boundaries or miscalculate something.

I hate to say this but the reality is this.
Historically Microsoft exclusives have found their way to PC more than any other platforms exclusives.
Dead Rising and Ryse didn't have PC ports announced until later.
Microsoft doesn't own the Sunset IP.
Almost no MS exclusive other than the trifecta (Halo, Gears, Forza) has remained exclusive to MS. Games like State of Decay which give me a real reason to buy an Xbox are coming to PC in the future.
Most damningly jstevenson hasn't posted in this thread and I've seen him post in almost every other Sunset Overdrive thread. They're great with communication and then they go completely silent.
Yeah not buying it. This has been a problem for a while now and the #1 reason I still don't own an Xbox. If this comes to PC it'll just be another reason for me to wait...despite the magic that is the MCC.
You would be crazy not to at least consider that this isn't pie in the sky nonsense. That doesn't mean it'll happen but there comes a point where you have to stop coming up with excuses and just accept the history.
Except Mass Effect people who bring that up are just stupid.

Considering Ryse and Dead Rising 3 came to PC, it wouldn't be unexpected. It's just a matter of waiting and I will happily wait.

Until he says "Sunset Overdrive is exclusive forever" then that doesn't mean anything to me.

This always happens, and then people act shocked when the game releases on PC later down the line.
I believe that putting up the ad was a mistake, but I'd say the chances of the game ending up on PC are pretty high.
lmao. Come on now.
This, IMO, is just all it is. A stupid mistake and unfortunate timing.

They don't own Mojang yet.
The deal has not been finalized.
Well that settles that.
I would have believed it was a mistake if it wasn't for DR3 and Ryse already existing on another platform

Yep, I guarantee that's the case. Still coming to PC, they just don't want people to know until they buy an Xbone.
Microsoft just shot themselves in the foot. I don't know how much the rest of you know about PC culture (I'm an expert)... Oh fuck it, we're not doing this.
After this
and this
I'm somehow sceptical.
Yeah, people sure got short memory lol.
I might believe it was just mistake if they didn't also deny that DR3 and Ryse were coming to PC prior to them being announced.
Remaining optimistic.

"Obvious mistake"
There we have it guys.
You should tell the person who made the "mistake" to list the Wii U next time as well to make the "mistake" even more obvious.
