I don't know why MS is trying to destroy one of its platforms with its other platform, but no, it really seems like they've abandoned the PC and have no intent on coming back. I mean, they shut down the MS Flight Simulator team a few years ago, shut down Ensemble Studios after forcing them to make an Xbox 360 exclusive, canceled the PC version of Alan Wake, didn't mention one single PC game or even PC version of a console game at their E3 presentation this year, and more... I think they're saying a lot about what they think of PC gaming, sadly enough. And if Microsoft, the people who make the OS, aren't even supporting it with games... well, it's not too surprising that PC gaming is in the bad state it is, is it? I mean, MS is only one studio, sure, but they're symbolically important for sure.
