Also cross-platform play most likely not going to happen.

It was obvious it won't use Live, what's more surprising is that it doesn't even use the "games for windows brand"

MS could block UT3 from Vista if they don't use LIVE. I guess Epic could sell500 copies of UT3 on the MAC. :lol:

MS owns PC gaming so you better play nice EPIC. :lol:

Windows is an open platform. They couldn't block it.

I applaud Epic for not utilizing Microsoft Games for Windows and LIVE. I hope more developers follow suit. The more that Microsoft is cut out of the equation, the better the gaming experience.

No, they couldn't. Vista is open format, it's not 360. If MS would even try Epic would just go to court and sue for couple dozen million dollars and they would win for sure. MS doesn't "own" pcgaming.

The consoles users should feel lucky that there's no cross-platform since they woud get totally owned by the PC users, unless they are using keyboard/mouse which i think is availble for the PS3 version. :)
