Bit tech report:
Microsoft may not have got Games for Windows Live right yet, but is still standing by PC gaming.
Although Microsoft has made some rather substantial cut-backs in their gaming divisions, terminating the entire Flight Simulator studio in the process, the company says that it still believes that Windows is a first-class gaming platform.
The comments come at the same time as Microsoft appoints a new general manager for the controversial Games for Windows Live division which has been met with scorn from many gamers. Chris Early is apparently being replaced with Ron Pessner, who is being taken from Microsoft’s Entertainment and Devices division, according to Kotaku.
“Moving ahead, Microsoft will continue to invest in Windows as a first–class gaming platform through great Windows out of box experiences, our online gaming services including Games for Windows – LIVE, MSN Games, and Messenger games, and through new games for Windows developed by Microsoft Games Studios,” an MS spokesperson said in a statement.
Imagine Windows and Mac gaming is cinema.
Now showing on the Mac would be the occasional indie classic with the odd blockbuster every six months. Going to the cinema is expensive on the Mac.
Imagine going to Windows and seeing hundreds of movie posters, critics, reviewers, countless creative studios, hype and of course, movies of every kind that are always released first and are IMAX, 9.1 surround sound. Oh, and it’s cheaper.
