... No exe file? No modding? No way to use overlays, controller remapping programs, etc? Vsync always on? And for me worst of all, borderless fullscreen ONLY?? I have two monitors, that's like the worst idea ever. If you stick to this, MS, I won't be buying and I hope other people don't fall for this either. As much as I like Microsoft's operating systems, they make terrible decisions sometimes with things like Games for Windows Live, and this, hopefully, will be the latest such debacle.
PC games as a closed system with no modding, etc, etc, would be terrible compared to what we have now! This sounds like exactly the kind of PC gaming-destroying, corporate-pushed system that would be disastrous for this industry if it takes off on computers, so it can't be allowed to. That's all really bad stuff. And on top of that, borderless fullscreen only is like the worst idea ever for computer games, for performance, for people with multiple videocards and/or multiple monitors, etc.
So yeah, here's hoping this is the next Games for Windows Live in terms of success. I like some things about Microsoft, such as their operating systems, but they cannot be allowed to destroy the open format system that makes PC gaming great.
