I'm glad they are doing this. It makes more sense with all of the video cards coming out.

LaWiiG3295d ago

Fine, downvote my comment. You are just fanboys that don't want change.

Livecustoms3295d ago

Writing anything positive about Xbox usually turns into you receiving a lot of down votes unfortunately.

Erik73573294d ago (Edited 3294d ago )

There just a little butt hurt that all their games are coming to pc lol.

Like does no one see that? Its not hard.... you already have your xbox scorpio it just doesn't have the xbox logo on it and it doesn't charge you to play online and its called pc.

jb2273294d ago

Is it "fanboy" to point out the failure of GFWL? Is it "fanboy" to call QB's PC launch very rocky, Gears UE's launch poor....Is it "fanboy" to point out that Win10 is still missing key features available on other platforms with no real utilization of any new ideas that give it a boost above its competition?

Ultimately MS talks a big game, but I'd say it'd be more "fanboy" to buy into stuff hook, line & sinker while clear evidence abounds that things may not pan out solely as planned. I think the point is that we need to just wait to see if MS can pull this off before we say that MS is "changing PC forever"...those lines have been thrown about in the past and they never came to fruition, it'd be kinda mad to assume things will be different this time sight unseen.

lokirevamped3294d ago

I'm with you. The PC has been doing this for years, why not give console gamers an option. I say release all games on one disk and let the X1 models either play the game at low settings or max settings based on the X1 model. I wouldn't even mine if I could swap out hard drive and Ram.

Erik73573294d ago

Dude just get a pc...like that is dumb.....youll save money and get even more games lmao....

freshslicepizza3294d ago

actually you wont save money because microsoft will absorb a lot of the costs and by having this in mass production they get lower rates for parts than you and i wouldn't. then you also need to factor in buying windows for $100.

consoles will continue to serve a purpose as would a pc.

Microsoft are not rewriting anything, PC gamers dont trust MS and they never will. Thats why imo MS will fail again.

Xbox One games on PC, Don't have to pay for online, no GFWL

Some people just love to hate MS...

Gazondaily3295d ago

Haters gonna hate.

Now heal me Mercy!

garrettbobbyferguson3295d ago

I'm not installing Windows 10 just to play some games.

Bobafret3295d ago

Your avatar is pretty fitting, abrasive and annoying. You have such a wicked hard on for MS man, give it a rest.

kevnb3295d ago

Microsoft can be pretty awesome when they feel the need.

Fin_The_Human3295d ago (Edited 3295d ago )

Why are you not banned yet?

You go into every MS article and just talk nonsense...so salty and insecure.

Don't worry your Neo 4.5 Teraflops will be announced soon.

jessionpc3295d ago

Don't worry Xavy, it's post M$ E3, kid's don't know how many times Microsoft has attempted to destroy the industry.

They'll fail again, like and as always.

How many times have they tried to ship GFWL?... Like 6 times? 6 genuine pushes? Empty promises? Flat out lies?

Yea... W/e though, not my concern, only thing I have in common with M$ is my pirated W7.

MCTJim3295d ago (Edited 3295d ago )

hahahahahahahaha give it a rest already. So you have a pirated version of W7...so you pirate your games too most likely.....good luck with that, your mentality gives PC gamers a bad reputation and bad name.

Erik73573294d ago (Edited 3294d ago )

Ill be playing gears 4 on my pc and be able to sleep at night.

itsmebryan3294d ago

If you are right why are you getting so many down votes.

MS is not completely evil to us here, but he is not even close to right; we are ready to eject MS altogether if not for some users who are only comfortable with MS products and hate change. We never allow new MS software into our business without fully scrutinizing what new background processes they implement. I am one of 3 who run the IT dept (degree in CS) and I am also a software engineer here working on in-house proton accelerator controller software - for cancer treatment.

I work with enterprise level MS and the dancing our contract lawyers have to do to make sure we are protected from MS's prying eyes of our IPs and confidential patient data is disturbing; we see their actual tools running on our networks without consent and have to rewrite scripts and firewalls rules JUST for MS crap. Me and the guys make sure we have Linux and Unix as our infrastructure backbone, so we can see MS spyware running around on our networks and can isolate.

Us engineering gamers are annoyingly fickle and like to shove in others' faces about our choices. We can smell MS's closed marketplace for price gouge control coming a mile away - not to mention the creepy tracking they do just to sell you your old shoes back. The PC gamers who do move to UWP, I wish them the best - but going on PC ONLY sites you will rarely find people who are gung-ho UWP.

BlackTar1873295d ago

God you couldn't have said it any better at all. They have long historys of being shady and anti consumer. They do this in Xbox the love of some people for this company is weird.

Play the games they make great im happy to play some xbox games but people who "TRUST" MS with anything are seriously misinformed.

MrDead3294d ago (Edited 3294d ago )

Ultimate Windows Tweaker was a god send for me, I've been able to turn off background tasks and spyware that MS feels necessary to put on my PC. There's been some benefits in doing this, I've freed up 8% of my systems memory and got rid of a problem I was having with a jittery mouse pointer, I'm a graphic designer and having a mouse pointer freezing every couple of mins was driving me crazy.

Has anyone been able to read the article, I cant get it to open?

s45gr323295d ago

As long as UWP becomes an open service like Steam then that will be ok

I appreciate this way of doing business. I may even buy Lies of P now because of it. Where your money goes it's literally the only leverage we have as consumers to make a difference in an industry we all have an opinion about. Withholding it or spending it in the right places is about all we can do.

ravens523h ago(Edited 3h ago)

This is fire. Just like the game. I haven't gotten the dlc yet, but im really thinking about it. I just thought it ended great, I really want to see what they do with Dorothy. Will you fight the Tinman, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, the Wicked Witch and Wizard of Oz? Maybe Toto's with us, that'd be fire.
