Gears of War 4 not coming to Steam?!

[Akaviri Forever]

Hey guys,

Gears of War 4 isn''t coming to Steam according to Microsoft. You need to have Windows 10 in order to play it. What do you guys think of this attempt from Microsoft in trying to force people into getting Windows 10, especially for the Microsoft exclusives they're trying to bring to PC gaming?

this isnt anything new

Why would MS share their profits by selling their much wanted game on a different platform. The platform where you can get the other games in the series.

The memories of running around chain sawing enemies in half. Good times.

I'm simply saying that I personally don't like how they're doing this, after saying that they want to get into and tap the PC gaming market more. To me, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense, and I really wish they would put it up on Steam. It's limiting the product to a specific operating system (which I don't have because I chose not to upgrade, unaware they'd do something like this), and it limits the market available to purchase too. I get why other publishers like EA make their own marketplace, but those marketplaces aren't limited to a specific operating system.

They do want to get into PC gaming more. By offering their games, on their platform, from their store. This isn't a new move. They did this exact thing with Halo 2, and now they are doing it it with Halo 5 multiplayer and Gears. Your decision to not upgrade to a new OS is your choice, just like your decision to not my an Xbox one is your choice... Although your decision is going to have further repercussions than not buying a console.

Get over it. You made a choice, an MS is not responsible for your choice to not get a free OS upgrade, and get the full range of software they are offering for said OS upgrade.
