This kills the Epic shill
theyre doing game for windows live for the 4th time?
>microsoft.com
i thought they were gonna just be putting everything on steam. I would actually be interested in sea of thieves if they just put it on fucking steam.
They'll probably put games on both. Microsoft's current business strategy is to put their stuff on everything
They are starting to put games on steam now but game pass is an incentive to get people using the windows store, cross play with the Xbone is also probably always going to be restricted to the windows store.
even on linux?
That store looks really cool desu
more like gay pass!
>linux
>MS
I dunno
Finally, the only stores I use are Xbox and GOG, the rest can fuck off.
>Another launcher
Hell yeah I love pc gaming.
>Sea of Thieves
>Friends playing
Doubt it.
They actually like Linux now, yes. A lot of new projects at MS are open source now, they've even made a github where they publicly work on UX design. They also straight up let you download Ubuntu from their own store and run Bash scripts using it on Windows.
But gaming on Linux is a shitshow, even for Valve, so don't expect them to waste time on that
>I would actually be interested in sea of thieves if they just put it on fucking steam.
Kys valve drone
Gay pass is on switch though too.
Just pick your favorites lmao. Chances are you'll only need two or three because most companies that have their own launcher suck cocks and microsoft puts their shit on steam too anyways.
>wanting to have only one launcher that's been fully developed, bug free, and has many useful features is being a drone
>being suspicious of microsoft after games for windows live is irrational
Ching chong nip nong bing bong
If its not on Steam i won't buy it.
Calm down. We wouldn't want Tienanmen to pop in your dreams.
If this launcher isnt malware then whatever. I got like 50 launchers now, whats one more.
They already said that all their games will be on steam, that's for people who use game pass on PC.
Looks better than the shitty microsoft store
>muh now Microsoft is Chinese boogeyman
Absolutely pathetic from steam babies, reminder these reddit kiddos never saw what PC was like before steam
>Microsoft: Hey guys check it out it's windows live AGAIN!
>Gamers: How many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man!?
Unlike Epic they already said they are bringing games to Steam.
I just want SoD2 on Steam and maybe Sea of Thieves.
I'd actually be really happy if they somehow made the new client work with GFWL games. It's a pain in the ass setting up the old client
I hope it's winx32
I hate UWP
PUT OG XBOX GAMES ON STEAM
I WANT TO PLAY JSRF, NG BLACK, PANZER DRAGOON ORTA AND OTOGI 1 & 2
It is
All of Microsoft's games are coming to Steam too, they already announced that Halo Infinite and Gears 5 are releasing on PC
JSRF is nearly perfect in CXBXR, Panzer Dragoon Orta works but isn't great
The real travesty is that Blinx 2 isn't even compatible with the fucking Xbone
>Windows 10
Yay!
>JSRF on Steam
Fucking yes, that would be amazing.
You can expect to see more Win32 coming up actually, recently they've been less focused on UWP and more focused on porting features back into Win32. The new Xbox app actually uses what they're calling "UWP XAML Islands", which basically just means they can use their newer design standards in Win32, so things like acrylic blur and reveal glow effects.
There's a chance someone may hack together a Windows 7 version. MS themselves won't support it but it's Win32 so it's about as hackable as any other program.
What makes it hackable so that it can be on W7 while the games can't?
They dont own those games, they only made it possible to play on Xbox by reading your old discs and making them work
Maybe step outside your safety box, let go of your safety blanket, and try it out.
Epic Games Launcher works on my version of Windows at least
if you run windows 10 you probably won't have a choice
Games depends entirely on how they're made. Obviously the games that are already out on the Store and use UWP aren't going to work on 7
But not all games do that, any game that comes to Steam can't be UWP, Steam doesn't support that, so as long as they aren't DX12 exclusive, which most (all?) of the games on Steam right now aren't, there's no reason they wouldn't work on 7 if the client works.
Now they could make a Win32/DX11 version for Steam and a UWP/DX12 version for the MS Store, Quantum Break did that, so there's no way to play that on 7 except for the Steam version.
Microsoft isn't doing Windows 10 exclusivity anymore. The MCC doesn't require it
Thanks
It's just another iteration of the MS store which is the evolution of GFWL (RIP)
Epic
I don't have autism like 90% of the people do on here so i'm cool with another launcher
It's the opposite, steam is the one filled with chinamen.
