Games for Windows Vista: how the new brand & OS will change PC gaming [update 1]

Dec 19th 2006 8:51AM (Joystiq)
I'm not going to pay to play on a Windows service for what I have free and can setup anywhere I have a computer and a high speed connection. That counter-intuitive. The ship sailed many moon's ago and for the PC gamer's sake I hope Microsoft fails. To the same ends, I think PC gamer's are more technically inclined than their console counterparts. Condesning games down into a GUI interface is one of many sure signs that the hackability of games is going to flounder. While Microsoft may be the dominant player to determine the direction of PC gaming, they forget that the PC gamers ultimately makes the choice. To inhibit them or lock them to a platform while chanting innovation is just blind ignorance and another strategy to monopolize and capitalize on something they don't get.
