Probably by forcing games for windows live to work for every game...

Same old, same old. Wait a minute maybe Alan Wake will be pre-installed into W8! Then again they'l probably cancel flight simulator for Windows and make it a 360 exclusive for the Kinect. Running about the living room arms out wide like a wee boy shouting weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyaaaaaaaaaaa at the top of your voice until the missus slaps you.

Well when our only other choice is that mac abomination, seemingly designed from the ground up to alienate PC gamers, they could remove all Direct X Support and it would still be preferable.

lets rejoice as they release xbox live as windows 8.

we know its coming, maybe "windows short cuts" on your desktop will cost 100microsoft points each!

For as long as gamers have to install 3rd party hacks to remove mouse accel, its not a gaming OS.

they already tried that when they launched windows live?

im sure if they make windows 8 dx12 exclusive and stick a subscription on it they have enough of a molopoly to do it regardless of peoples opinions

You won't be when everything worth playing is made for DX10+ only, like BF3.

long time for that, aslong as we have the 360 and ps3 around there will be plenty of dx9 titles.
