Wasn't there something posted about MS pursuing ways to release content on Steam?
This seems to be linked
Well,
- GFWL being wound down
- Capcom (#1 GFWL partner) switches to Steamworks
- Recent 1st party XBLA games ported to Steam
- Patching GFWL out of previous GFWL-Steam releases.
- The job posting I mentioned in the OP about exploring further releases on Steam
So, yeah, I feel pretty confident that even if Halo doesn't come to pass, there's something occurring with MS-Steam's relationship
Are we also waiting for this?
You changed your argument.
Your original argument was that this is not likely real because the PR implications make it unlikely to be real. That is not a good argument.
Your new argument is that this is not likely real because it's too weird to be real. I agree it's very weird, that's why I put it in the thread title, and why the vast majority of people in this thread have been approaching it with cautious, skeptical optimism.
