Microsoft Ever Confused With The PC
I am ever puzzled by Microsoft’s approach to PC gaming, most recently highlighted by their decision to move the Games for Windows Live forums to the Xbox forums.
The Problem With PC Gaming
I’ve been a console gamer since I was knee high to a Power Flower; controllers have formed the very joints in my hands over the long years that arc out behind me. But this is possibly about to change. Over the years I’ve always looked over into the ‘other yard’ at the PC gamers with their mice, keyboards and GPUs with a little envy. They have superior graphics for much of the time; their multiplayer games are enormous and, well,…
