Unifieing PC Gaming

Ok pc gaming has Steam, Games for WIndows, Xfire, and GAmespy for unfieing services.

IF one of them won and became the official online service like xbox live is to the xbox and psn is to the psw which one would you pick

I say Steam if they added voice chat with friends in game and fized some bugs

easily steam....

As unlikely as that is, I think Steam might end up on top. It's definitely in the lead at the moment, there's a ton of games and they've finally gotten their friends system working.

But I think in the future people will still prefer each game handling online functionality independently.

Xfire is an IM program..so technically its not even competing.

But yeah I think Steam would be it.

Games For Windows wants to charge people to play online, so consider it failed.

I was talking the last day to a "Gamespy" admin.He was describing me the difficult situation there passing due to the lack of players.And i located another problem,there are too much kids playing adult games!

The beauty of PC gaming is that it's not unified. That's what drives innovation and great platform like steam.

F u c k Xbox live, it's not worth paying, PSN is complete uter joke

my personal opinion is steam will eventually take over distribution of PC game, it's just so easy, i've never had to worry about updating a steam game, but without someone else keeping it sharp it will grow bloated, think Intel

This is PC, we don't want a monopoly like XBLkyrieee

yeah, i also would not like monopoly

I don't know how long it's been since you've used steam, but it already has voice chat, friends in game, and they've ironed out most if not all of the old bugs

Cant agree more.PC is home for third party developers,and what they want is freedom.
