Veteran developer id Software believes that Microsoft's Games for Windows campaign will play an important role in protecting PC developers against piracy and ensuring a better experience for the end user.
"Some people say it's a little too Big-Brotherish, but it's a legitimate progression of making the PC feel more - not like a console, but like a closed system," id's lead designer Tim Willits told GamesIndustry.biz in an exclusive interview published today.

A credible insider claims an Assassin’s Creed 1 remake has been in development at Ubisoft for quite a few years.
Hope so. I believe this game deserves it the most and will definitely need a lot to overhaul compared to black flag. It's really hard for me to play this game again lol
The most repetitive and boring ass game I have ever played. I wont get it even for free.. I had nightmares of this game it was utter garbage.
If any Assassin's Creed game needs a remake its the first one. I just think the original didnt age as well as the others and could use improvements
This was one of my most hyped games back in the day only to be let down so damn bad. AC2 made up for it but yes, this is one game that doesn't just deserve a remake, it needs to be stripped down to the bare parts and completely rebuilt from the ground up because it's problems were basic and fundamental and if those things aren't fixed, no fresh coat of paint is going to fix it.
Good. They should remake all the Altair games. Him and Ezio are very well written and executed.
We've lost the argument in favour of games being art at this point. Maybe a remaster, some touch ups, fixes, a rerelease for modern consoles, bringing attention to the game that started it all, some appreciation. Nah just another remake. I've said this about AC4 and I'll say it for this too. Why not just go back to Altair's era and make a new game centered around him or the changes he made to the order after the events of the first game with a new protag?
Finally. Bring back Desmond and finish his story. 🤦🏾 Yall fcked up massively killing him and that future story.
those comments are interesting, I didn't expect that from id. Piracy is understandably a big issue for them.
How is forcing gamers to pay $40 a year to play games online good for the industry, excepting making an already over-sized corporation more wealthy.
Yea I think id is just jumping on the Games for Windows boat cuz Epic isn't so keen on it yet, so they're trying to get a heads up... will it pan out is the question
Sadly to say but ID Software is now MS's b!@tch. What exactly is the benefit of a closed system? Less Piracy? PC games alrady have Product ID codes, which is more protection than consoles have. PC's have always been an open platform for gamers and I see no reason why that should change. I have never torrented or downloaded any new games, I've only ever emulated NES, SNES, and Sega games.
