The PC platform has numerous download services that compete with one another. Microsoft has always been lacking on the PC side of things. However, Microsoft’s exclusivity over the other companies seems to begin with Fable 3 as it is only offered through Games for Windows LIVE on Demand. I guess Microsoft finally realized it can have a potential grip over each download service by offering 360 only games through their on demand service. Will this strategy really work out for them?

Fable II launched back in 2008 and remains the best the series has offered. Ahead of the series comeback, it's time to look at the classic.
I'd love to play it again, this time on pc though. Forever waiting on that pc port.
Loved this game, oh and i always saved my dog at the end, hope the new Fable has a animal companion.
Fable 2 was the best inthe series. Peter waaaaaaay over promised with fable 1 and it was good but disappointing. He didn't go crazy eith hype for the second game and it was surprisingly awesome. Then he ran his mouth promoting 3 and it was the worst of the 3.
Funny story: Fable 3 had a funny way of keeping the promises you made in the first half of the game and having enough money to defeat the darkness.
You only had to collect enough money to buy 2 stores in a busy market district. You then raise the prices to maximum and you turn xbox 360 internal clock 99 or more years ahead.
The next time you load the game, all the rents from the 99 years are collected immediately.
But yes I agree that 3 was the weakest of the three.
I only got to play it once 😩 I'm so tempted to buy a Xbox 360 slim but planning on getting the series x soon since I got a PS5 in February Im ready to get saints row 1&2 back, GTA 4, fable 2, but I also want to play infamous 1&2 again Sony screwed us over with the stream only for saints row 2 and other gems smh
Ha good luck to Microsoft on this one, I reckon they have left it too little too late to get a strangle hold on the DD market. It isn't particularly inspiring that they have started this with Fable 3. It seems most PC gamers were quite happy to live without Fable 2 I can't see number 3 making them go "OMGZ I got to use GFWL on demand from now on".
If anything not releasing this game on steam will inevitably kill sales of the title leading to claims of "it's those pesky pirates again". This is just another half hearted attempt by MS, they might have achieved it if they had done this with Alan Wake but no way will they achieve this with Fable 3.
GFWL is pretty awful. Go figure they would put this exclusively on there.
Ok, now I see why they released it on pc. Its a GFWL exclusive....
Edit: Below, Blaze, yeah...they want all of that money, do they not?
If it's only available for download on GFW Live it will fail extremely hard.
No one wants to use that shit.
