Live for PCs: Worth Gamers Money and Devs Support?

In its June issue, Games for Windows: The Official Magazine asks Games for Windows and Xbox boss Peter Moore and Live general manager J.J. Richards about how they hope to sell gamers and gamemakers on the service.

Devs need to stay away from this. I am as happy as I can be on my PC knowing that when I pay for a game I'm getting everything and more, but now they want to create exclusive content that can only be accessed through a subscription service. Microsoft the Operating System may be yours but the games are not, so keep your F-ing hands off of 'em.

I have to agree with you on that one. I can't see people paying for Live on a computer...and they certainly don't need to be holding back content for non-Live users.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing38d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9238d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
