Veteran developer id Software believes that Microsoft's Games for Windows campaign will play an important role in protecting PC developers against piracy and ensuring a better experience for the end user.
"Some people say it's a little too Big-Brotherish, but it's a legitimate progression of making the PC feel more - not like a console, but like a closed system," id's lead designer Tim Willits told GamesIndustry.biz in an exclusive interview published today.

That controller looks like a cheap knockoff... it should have been a proper DS5 design.
what a dumb take.
Ace Combat 7 is one of the best games of the past generation. It doesn't need VR gimmicks to "redeem" it.
Can we get a new Ace Combat, with full vr and not just three or four levels, for PS5 and PSVR2

Rematch’s creative director, Pierre Tarno, speaks about Sloclap’s thoughts on eSports and tournaments in the studio’s hit soccer game.
those comments are interesting, I didn't expect that from id. Piracy is understandably a big issue for them.
How is forcing gamers to pay $40 a year to play games online good for the industry, excepting making an already over-sized corporation more wealthy.
Yea I think id is just jumping on the Games for Windows boat cuz Epic isn't so keen on it yet, so they're trying to get a heads up... will it pan out is the question
Sadly to say but ID Software is now MS's b!@tch. What exactly is the benefit of a closed system? Less Piracy? PC games alrady have Product ID codes, which is more protection than consoles have. PC's have always been an open platform for gamers and I see no reason why that should change. I have never torrented or downloaded any new games, I've only ever emulated NES, SNES, and Sega games.
