Microsoft is riding on a wave of goodwill and momentum- here’s how they can continue down that path.
INDIE Live Expo, Japan’s premiere online digital showcase series , will debut never-before-seen games & content updates across more than 100 titles on May 25th.
With all the PlayStation games that are now coming to PC, is it time for Sony to release a dedicated PC launcher?
Unless they are trying to kill their recently created PC business, I would advise against opening a dedicated PC store. It's an extremely hard endeavor, and people, in general, are very comfortable with Steam. Even Epic, with their billions of dollars invested, is still struggling to find a foothold, and they have Fortnite.
Can tell who ever put this together is not all that clued up on pc gaming.
It's just a known fact. The PC gaming community prefer Steam and Steam alone. They don't like different launchers. I personally don't mind them. But majority just stick with steam. Hence why EA and Ubisoft went back to on releasing on steam and why Microsoft release games on steam as people hated buying from the windows store.
The only other launchers that I imagine are doing ok is GOG due to being drm free and epic games due to the free games every week. Sony shouldn't release any sort of pc launcher n
This is just another ridiculous double standard article.
It's like how Microsoft can spend 20 years of making nothing but gaas and live service style games to sell microtransactions, dlc and subscriptions and get praise for doing it, but if Sony wants to make a single game like that every website under the sun is writing articles saying how Sony is anti-consumer or whatever.

From the article:
1. New IP
2. Halo/Gears/Forza
3. New Fable
4. Remove F2P
5. Continue 'awesome' focus on services.
I guess Xbox fans are easily swayed....
Their focus will be on games! With focus on the X!
For me it's always Conkers Bad Fur Day 2, A new, "BETTER THAN 5", Halo SP game, a Fable reboot that recaptures the magic of Fable 1.
..And I'd really like to see this shitty platform get themes/dynamic themes. Man the XBOX UI is total garbage.
Microsoft’s focus should be on trying to appeal to people outside of the Xbox ecosystem more than anything else
It's going to take a lot more than one E3 to win me over. MS is going to have to demonstrate to me an extended, consistent pattern of not only actually releasing exclusives but that they be critically successful. Furthermore they are going to have to show me a commitment to the single player, narrative-driven experience. All these online-driven "community" based games do not interest me in the slightest. This generation is lost for MS as far as I'm concerned. Sony and Nintendo literally cover every gaming need I have. To me, Xbox is just fighting for relevancy in the console gaming space. With each passing day and each badly reviewed title from them, I find it harder and harder for them to justify their existence in the console space. The services are nice and all. But I dont play services, I play games.
