Windows 10 Exclusive games

[Specter Knight]

When I heard that one of the XBONE exclusives was officially coming to PC I was very glad. But the great mood killer was the fact, that it is going to be only on Windows 10 OS.

Now I'm a Win 7 user myself and so far I don't wanna change to Win 10 out of precautions.
Microsoft is sadly shoehorning in Win 10 as hard as they can. Will all PC games be Win 10 exclusives? Or can we, as a consumers, prevent it form happening?

They might reconsider it, since there's a huge majority who hates windows 10 and refuse to update to it despite being free.

If Steam can rake in Steam exclusives its potential competitors should be allowed to as well.

Eventually all new PC games will be made with Windows 10 in mind, its the nature of things to move on to the next thing, so more and more people will be forced to update if they want to keep playing new triple-a PC games.

This is old thread but after the E3 microsoft confrence this is more true than ever EVERY game microsoft announced is Win 10 exclusive BS

[TheLittleDeadGuy]

MS wont give on damn what happens as long as they make money.

[Specter Knight]

Well, they never learned their lesson after GFWL fiasco.
Exact same mistake all over again.

guess i wont be playing that Pirate game or dead rising 4

Eh. All of my favorite games work on 7 and as long as it stays like that I won't upgrade. Nothing new interests me besides what Bethesda brought to the table.

its rreal sad microsoft aint learned ♥♥♥♥ by trying to get people forced onto anouther OS

3 years late I know. I just updated to windows 10 so I could play Age of Empires 2 with my friends (definitive edition). I'll tell ya, that was a huge price to pay just to be able to play games with friends. I've had little to no problems with Windows 7 all these years, 1 week of Windows 10 I can't understand half the decisions made for these features. And my OCD is going off the charts with these UI decisions.

Anyways, it seems that because they're halting support for 7 (and 8 eventually I'm assuming) it seems future Windows games are going to become 10 exclusive. The microsoft games pass is 10 exclusive at the moment. At least I get to finally use that. If any of these features were not exclusive I'd probably still be using Windows 7.

I get to try out State of Decay 2 now finally as well. Honestly real sad that you kinda get hassled into upgrading, regardless whether it's free or not.

Look on the bright side: you'll buy the game some years ahead after you did switch replacing your box, and you'll get nice 75%+ discount on the old game.

Why do people dislike windows 10 so much?

[Xautos]

In a few weeks i'll be switching to Kubuntu, so i'll be relying on Valve to keep proton in great condition and WINE for the rest. I'm not going back to windows 10.

I'll be doing a complete wipe across the board save for a few things going on to a usb stick. I'll finally be done with windows as an operating system for good after that. Can't wait!
