Windows 8 is not the end of PC gaming, it's the beginning. At least that's what Nate is saying as Microsoft launches its new OS.
Microsoft's Activision subsidiary announced today that it is opening a new game development studio to take advantage of the huge talent pool growing in Poland. It'll be the second Activision studio based in the region, joining Infinity Ward Krakow, although this studio is, in fact, not working on Call of Duty.
Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's plans to increase every department's margins.
"The plan to move Xbox games to other platforms is codenamed "Latitude" internally, and I know there's debate and unease at Microsoft about whether or not this is a good idea. More upcoming Microsoft-owned games slated for PlayStation are already being developed. At least for now, they're potentially obvious games you'd most likely expect. And yes, while it's true Microsoft is a prolific publisher on PlayStation already, it has typically revolved around specific franchises like Minecraft. From what I've heard, Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's mandate to increase every department's margins.

Yeah, they are going to kill Xbox hardware.
i think it will kill off the xbox brand. windows will be fine.
but there is and would be a chance that xbox might be killed off in the future. if they fail to make the money they put in. imo.

Forza and Starfield next?
In the words of Phil Spencer when he was talking about Nintendo last year
“It's just taking a long time for Microsoft to see that their future exists off of their own hardware"
With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.
I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.
I mean, I think the fans will probably kill Arkane Lyon by cooking up reasons to hate whatever they do next without playing it. I've never seen a game so artificially disliked as Deathloop.
Lol, why don't we just say, we are worried about all studios owned by MS now. They will keep closing studios until they have none left ...🙄
I think it's becoming clear based on matt bootys comments there's no future for any IP that can't sell above 10 million within the launch window. But is also a small game that gives them prestige
/S it's beyond a joke right now
y right
win 8 is crap for games
At least Microsoft know what people think of Windows and gaming. Maybe they will take that all to heart and really put some much needed effort into it.
Windows 7 is probably going to be another Windows XP. That is, if this is what Microsoft is planning for future OS.
Windows will still be windows. Just gotta click desktop tab of Xbox 3 interface on Windows 8. haha
I do agree with the article. Its not all bad. Creating a side step for Apps isn't the best idea to some, but considering you still have browsers, the desktop, and applications you can install and use normally its not much of a change. Just a Windows Dashboard just like Xbox. I figured eventually they would blend the two. Xbox 3 will be running Windows RT(or ARM edition as I call it.). Not a doubt in my mind that it supports that.
Ive tried this windows, its the most unpratical desktop windows that i ever put my hands on. This is great for a tablet, not for a desktop.
