Cost will be an interesting issue in regards to the Windows 10 store. Are MS really going to charge £50 for the next Halo/Forza/Gears of War title on PC? Are they going to demand PC gamers pay a subscription for multiplayer?

MS seems to try to attack Steam.

Which humblebundle had the reddit gold code? I can't remember..

Better haircut, looks like he's lost a little weight too. Good Gabe.

Gabe's new look:

That nautical circle beard. He looks like he's ready to offer to catch a shark and clean it for free.

 

[louiedog]

Adding a non-Steam game...

That's a bit harsh, Steam.

Borderlands 2 GOTY is a true GOTY? If I buy it, do I need to buy other DLC?

AFAIK, yes, you will need to buy more DLC.

 

[Ozium]

can't buy hotline miami 2 on nuuvem because it says it is not available in my region.

welp.

 

[JaseC]

Hopefully there won't be Win10 store exclusives.

Well, Fable Legends' closed beta, which is currently underway, isn't on Steam. That in itself isn't necessarily indicative of future plans, of course, however given the game was recently confirmed to be free-to-play I'll be surprised if MS releases it on Steam prior to its userbase dwindling.

Use a VPN. Namely FlyVPN if Hola doesn't work.

you need one of the headhunter DLCs or something to raise the level cap.

I think the subscription dream is dead. It didn't even last very long in the original GFWL, and they're still in the process of burying that.

thanks

dude the evil within is great

 

[Oreoleo]

alien isolation is totes better tho

 

[Maniac]

Yeah, this is exactly what I feared. I think Sunset Overdrive and MCC will be WinStore WIn10 Exclusives :/

Unless Win10 adoption is leagues and miles above Win 8 adoption I doubt they'd have much financial success doing so. It'd probably result in a bigger blow to profitability than having stuff exclusively on Origin.

 

[MMBosstones86]

damn.

EA is cold blooded.

 

[Bboy AJ]

My GOTY

 

[Chariot]

At least they didn't send Maxis on a bowling party with pizza today.

Plus it will probably be available on the Xbox one before the pc version comes out.

 

[Stallion Free]

They both have issues.

 

[lashman]

EA gonna EA ....


not even kidding, though ... didn't they basically do the same thing last year?

 

[JaseC]

I imagine he meant exclusive to the WinStore within the context of the PC specifically as opposed to wholly exclusive.

 

[Oreoleo]

My GOTY

Mine too. Took me completely by surprise. I haven't been put that on edge by a game in years.

 

[Rand6]

Crap, I hate when they do that!

Spoiler

I just bought it anyway, I'm weak

Thanks for the replies.

 

[Bboy AJ]

When playing it, I kind of hated it at first. I was like, "Why would I play a game that gives me stress and dread?" ...but I have come to love it so, so very much.

 

[lashman]

sooooooo, in other words - they WILL take revenue share from the developers

 

[chronomac]

Sexy.

 

[MMBosstones86]

sooooooo, in other words - they WILL take revenue share from the developers

but only once instead of twice!

 

[PetriP-TNT]

What the christ

edit: oh, he wasn't laid off he survived

 

[Dr Dogg]

I've played Alien Isolation for about 11 in game hours and still only 66% done. A lot of fat could be cut from the game that's for sure.

 

[lashman]

but only once instead of twice!

yeah ... only once ... 30%

 

[Phawx]

I will buy a Steam controller with trading card money.

I love Steam

 

[zkylon]

that's markedly terrible if you can't publish outside of steam. if you can publish on steam and on gog or your own site then it's acceptable, but if not fuck that

 

[Mavromatis]

Good but is Magicka 2 on sale or not?

Well, they're not forcing anyone to use it to have a game on Steam =/

 

[derExperte]

What the christ

But is this even true? They're closing the Sim City Maxis, not the Sims studio.

 

[Nabs]

I will buy a Steam controller with trading card money.

I love Steam

Lets hope it comes with a TF2 item so you can then make back that money you spent.

I doubt they'd lock you to Steam.

 

[Mavromatis]

Or Dying Light or Total War.

 

[JaseC]

but only once instead of twice!

Yeah, pretty much. It's similar to the agreement Garry Newman (of Garry's Mod fame) struck with Valve way back when, the key difference being that the publisher's revenue cut isn't smaller.

 

[ashecitism]

lol this is chaotic, Valve. Separate journos are just reporting on seperate things. Why couldn't Valve make an unified announcement again. Something for reference. It also doesn't help how fast gaming side is moving atm.

 

[Saty]

You can put the game elsewhere:

However, and crucially, developers are going to be free to also sell their game anywhere else, which means you can also use stores that take far lower cuts. Use Source 2, put your game on Steam and take advantage of Steamworks, the community features, and so on, but direct all your customers to your Humble store where only see 5% won’t reach you.

I wish there was a more detailed article to go with that tweet
