Microsoft "answers" the PC question (Here ABF)

[A Black Falcon]

Microsoft wouldn't even put Alan Wake on the PC.

Forget Alan Wake, at least that's a sort of consoley title... though perhaps it ended up that way because of the platform it's on, who knows. That they also didn't publish PC versions of Halo 3 or Fable 2, that they closed the Flight Simulator studio, that they closed Ensemble after forcing them to make a 360 exclusive (which sold reasonably well, too, making the closure really not make sense), that at E3 for several years now PC games have had less of a presence each time than the time before, until this time they bottomed out at zero at their conference... those things matter more. I mean, one game is one game... but a lot of games, studios, and more, forms a very clear pattern.

So how about I answer the question for them...

Q: Does "Fable III" on Windows signal a larger reinvestment by Microsoft in PC gaming? How is this different from the previous times you've announced a reinvestment in PC gaming and not quite come through with a robust offering?

It doesn't, and it isn't.

I mean, who cares about Fable III when we haven't been allowed to play Fable II yet?
