Phew, dodged the GoW bullet just in the last moments Cool Face

Wow those comments on Neoderp:

"Good to see Microsoft support PC gaming while also bolstering Xbox's lineup. It's a win-win."

Coming to Steam:

Windows 10 Store exclusive:

[*]Gigantic

I wouldn't say the Win 10 store exclusives are 100% confirmed as Microsoft tends to dance around the issue, but it's very likely.

http://www.winbeta.org/news/microsoft-to-hold-xbox-and-windows-10-spring-showcase-media-event-in-san-francisco-february-25th
Quote:
Microsoft is planning to showcase its upcoming Xbox spring lineup at a media event to be held in San Francisco on February 25th. The event will feature Xbox head Phil Spencer, and will offer hands-on opportunities with “the best games and platform experiences launching this spring on Xbox and Windows 10”, according to an email sent out to invited media.

We’ve already seen CES come and go, and E3 isn’t until June, so holding a showcase to highlight what’s coming in the first half of 2016 makes some sense, building up momentum even before the annual big games blowout event at E3.

Microsoft has just released its first Xbox One update of the year, including lots of social improvements and new features like an Avatar Store and more, and it looks like we can look forward to not only new games, but more improvements to the Xbox One experience, and more gaming experiences on Windows 10, with many of them coming well before E3.

And the misleading titles, more BS:

"Survey Shows Windows 10 Enjoying a High Satisfaction Rate Among Users"

Quote:
Market research firm International Data Corporation (IDC) tasked Survata with polling 1,000 U.S. adults who own a computer with their feelings about their OS of choice, ComputerWorld reports. Of those surveyed, around 30 percent said they were running Windows 10, versus 27 percent who indicated they owned a Windows 8 PC and 28 percent on Windows 7.

Out of those who said they're running Windows 10, some 60 percent rated their experience with it as being "favorable" or "very favorable." Only 1 in 10 polled described their experience with Windows 10 as being "unfavorable" or "very unfavorable."


That 60% "Favorable" answer are only 180 users FFS.

If the games would sell good on their console, they would not even think about releasing them on the PC.
It seems preorders are really bad for most of the exclusive games.

So pretty much all their exclusives, short of Forza and Halo 5 will be released on PC.

Why not? It's not competing with XBOX One, and more sales never hurt.

New rumors about Microsoft's gaming plans for Windows 10 claim that the company is planning to release a version of its Xbox One racing sim Forza Motorsport 6 for the PC OS as an exclusive for the Windows Store.

According to WPDang, this is all part of Microsoft's strategy to beef up its Windows 10 game efforts, with the Windows Store as the exclusive outlet. In addition to Forza Motorsport 6, the site claims, via unnamed sources, that Gears of War 4 might also be released for Windows 10 in addition to Xbox One, along with Scalebound. It also mentions a previously unannounced game, Forza Horizon 3, as coming to both Xbox One and Windows 10.

Microsoft announced last week that Quantum Break will be released for Windows 10 on April 5, the same day as the Xbox One version, with pre-orders for the console game getting the Windows 10 version for free. The company also announced in 2015 that the Xbox One games Gears of War Ultimate Edition, ReCore, Halo Wars 2 and Killer Instinct will all be coming to Windows 10 at some point.

just normal x86 packages, and store protection isnt really strong. so if no other stuff is used to protect the games (i.e. some denuvo shit or newer stuff which hasnt been cracked) there should be isodemos without problems

hopefully ms will announce forza for pc on the 25th, would be awesome

iirc windows store games are not "x86 packages" , but UWA (https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/dn894631.aspx) packages and they are somehow sandboxed outside of OS like mobile apps and doesnt even have executables .
BTW: UWA version of RotTR have DenuvoATT on top of this UWA bullshit

nope, universal apps are marked as universal apps, and x86 packages (like rotr) are marked as x86 packages
