Wasn't a consumer OS.

Windows 10 will end PC game piracy. They finally invented unbreakble DRM.
Then people pirate W10 and it all comes crashing down.Windows 10 will end PC game piracy. They finally invented unbreakble DRM.
It won't work. Even a Halo MCC W10 exclusive would bomb horribly hard on PC.
Microsoft should not overestimate the appeal of their console IPs on PC.
The only MS IP which I would really want on PC is Gears, loved Gears 1-3 and I would buy a Gears collection on PC day one.
Steam or gtfo.
But oh, i just know they will have some bullshit up their sleeves. Windows 10 app store only + xbox live account. Though no gold needed for online play. Because they´re nice...
Is it really bullshit for them to not want to give Valve 30% for doing nothing at all though?

Geez Phil, we're just joking about your commitment to PC gaming comments. We don't actually want you to do anything about it.
Speak for yourself. I for one welcome more pc games and hopefully XB1 ports.

DX12 games will become apps and you can buy 'em from the Windows app store.
Man... Windows 10... I still can't believe it. How is that legal?
Porting games to Windows? Sure, bring it. But few people are comfortable with them doing more then just releasing games on Windows, with their past history of goldfish style attention spans when it comes mantaining any focus on PC gaming.
What would be pretty awesome is if Windows 10 had an initiative to compete with the Sony's Remote Play functionality - stream your XBO games to any W10 device. PC in another room, HTPC with W10, Surface / Surface Pro device, and Windows phones.
And in an ideal world, you'd be able to use your XBO to receive game streaming from your PC in return, perhaps even facilitating a steam client running on XBO which could integrate with friend lists and receive streams from steam on your PC.
It's nice to want things.
They're going to really have to pull their fingers out to impress with this. Especially with all the previous PR BS about gaming on PC.
Worst case scenario you can just ignore it, I don't there's many developers that would sign up for something like gfwl exclusive anymore.
I appreciate it that they have been bringing some of the XONE exclusives over to PC but please, pleeeease don't create another platform similar to GFWL. In fact just release your games on Steam and be done with it.
