Age of Empires Online is a freemium multiplayer RTS game. While the game is free to download and play, access to additional empires and content requires the purchase of various expansions. Now the prices of said premium content have been cut in half, making it much easier to experience everything AOE Online has to offer (and get most of the game's Achievements).
Chris Taylor was once the founder and CEO of Gas Powered Games, responsible for the the Supreme Commander series and the first 2 Dungeon Siege games. Bought over by Wargaming back in early 2013 to prevent a closure due to financial difficulties, Chris Taylor recently announced he has left the company after more than 3 years, with no games shipped or officially announced.
Chris Taylor Xbox could use a creative mind or new blood for anyone one of their studios , maybe look into it .
I thought wargaming had bought the rights to Total Anniilation and Chris was working on a much needed reboot or sequel. Chris, please do that, even if it doesnt have the name. Surpreme Commander was good, but TA was better, bring back downloadable units and that same gameplay.
Kevin Unangst, senior director for PC gaming in the Xbox group, was more forthright in his assessment of Games for Windows than expected when we caught up with him at Gamescom today.
Yeah Because Pc gamers are not dumb enough to pay to play online , if we as console gamers refused to use it , Xbox live and PSN would not be paid online
Jeez ya think Microsoft? Trying to get PC gamers to pay for online multiplayer on an open platform like console gamers would on a closed platform was one of their worst ideas.
Codemasters has announced DiRT 3 has ditched Games for Windows live for Steamworks. All who own the game on PC will be upgraded to the Complete Edition, which includes all DLC at no extra cost.
Got mine installed and could not be happier.
I was so pissed that i lost my purchased DLC from windows live and i could not get them back in the game when it was demised.
Fyi: For those who see it listed on steam as something they need ti purchase even if they already bought the game.
You need to Un-install the game from your library go back to the store page and once in there you will the PLAY NOW button and you can install it.
When will a real Age of Empires game be made again?
