It was Xbox exclusive.

It is, but Microsoft holds the keys. If they wanted to, they're able to break that exclusivity at some point.

Chances are they won't, though, because they're hoping you'll go out and buy an Xbox instead. But in the coming years, who knows. Maybe once the Xbox One is being taken off the market they'll change their minds?

And? Many "exclusive" games have found their way onto other platforms.

The thing is. Only the copyright holder can allow their creation onto other platforms. And if Microsoft owns Rare by example, they would do better to sell the games themselves over giving a share to steam. I may be wrong on some details but I think you see what I mean.

Kinda depends. Microsoft is a lot larger than Steam, but Steam is possibly (I haven't looked at the statistics in a while here) a larger marketplace for Games (especially given that it's multi-platform for OSes, even if Windows is still the dominant market)

I don't know really, I don't keep up with the Microsoft Store because I honestly believe it's no better than the Apple storefront, full of scam software and stolen content constantly, people think Steam does a bad job with quality control, go look at Apple. Even for legit games, the Microsoft Store doesn't offer sales and discounts as aggressively as Steam does, and there's been cases where multiplayer games suffer because they end up with seperate servers depending on which storefront you use (especially considering how many games use Steam's networking APIs and platform)

So I can't really argue either way if they'd make more or less money on Steam, I just wish that they would bring the game to Steam for me to purchase it here, rather than on the Microsoft Store.

i want banjo tooie and kazooie on steam ^^

Those games are part of "Rare Replay". It's a compilation of most Rare old school games.

really? nice <3

[Seraphita]

Well... You both make sense. I agree that seeing the games on steam would probably be better for everyone at the end. My point was only that Microsoft is selling Xbox games on Windows 10 OS so they may want to sell Rare Replay just the same over there as well.

I don't think it was just Nintendo.

Multiple movie publishers and studios are still trying to dispute who owns what for 007 and James Bond. It's in copyright hell.

The problem is that the trademark for James Bond character in video-games that has been transfered from company to company through years:

Nintendo license (1995 to 1998): GoldenEye 007 (N64), James Bond 007 (Game Boy)

Electronic Arts license (1999 to 2005): Tomorrow Never Dies, The World is Not Enough, Agent Under Fire, Nightfire, Everything or Nothing, GoldenEye Rogue Agent, From Russia With Love

Activision license (2006 to 2013): Quantum of Solace, GoldenEye 2010 reboot, 007 Blood Stone, 007 Legends

Curent status (2014 to ....): Unlicensed. (games were removed from stores and digital sale)

I wonder which of those movies netflix has in stock right now...

[Seraphita]

Only to add a minor detail. After some search, people said that to have RR on PC would mean MS having to "emulate" the thing for PC since the current RR uses XB360 emulator on XB1.

A lot of abbreviations but I don't know if that would be an issue or not if Rare Replay was ported.

[Virtua Sanus]

Not an impossible thing because Microsoft has several games published on Steam but Rare Replay actually has several non ported versions of the Xbox 360 games included in it's package, meaning they are directly the original versions. If Microsoft were to allow Rare Replay on PC in any form they would have to first make an Xbox 360 emulator and I really, really do not see why they would bother with something like that.

[Kamakura]

I'd absolutely love it on Steam. It's one of the only games I'm even interested in on the console.

No. Rare belongs to Microsoft. It's a first party studio. Its not a time exclusive. Rare replay belongs to Microsoft as much as Forza and Halo. Dead Rising is a Capcom game.

Something tells me you don't know what first party means...

Says the kid who hope Rare replay is a time exclusive just DR4 was.
Something tells you wrong. Microsoft bought 100% of Rare in 2002. Rare became a first party developer for Microsoft. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare_(company)

Yes, but some games of Forza and Halo franchises are available for PC through Windows 10 Store. Even Rare's Killer Instinct Reboot is available for PC

I know. It's totally possible that Rare replay would come to PC. In fact, there are no such a thing as Xbox exclusive now. Every Xbox game is also to be released on PC Windows 10. But this rule is recent and came to be after Rare replay, Halo 5 etc... and so far Microsoft did not go back to release old Xbox One exclusives on PC, just the games that came out after the decision.

Besides, Microsoft also mention the intentio to work with Steam in the future... so It is even possible that some Microsoft game comes to Steam... but so far only games published by Microsoft but developed by third parties came to Steam. We are yet to see first party titles doing it.

In any case, I'd be happy enough if it ever releases on Windows 10 store.
