Microsoft is Now Actually Helping PC Gaming.

"The PC version of Lionhead role-playing game Fable III will launch on Steam and Games for Windows Live, Microsoft has announced."

"http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-04-21-fable-iii-pc-to-launch-on-steam-and-gfwl"

They are finnally ditching that GFWL Only. Thank God, Games for Windows LIVE is the worst thing to happen. I guess I am picking this up now.

Now I hope Microsoft releases;

Age of Empires on Steam

Gears of War 2/3 on Steam

Halo 3 and/or Halo Reach on Steam (Tho I could careless for Halo 3)

Forza 3/4 on Steam (This would highly increase sales for Forza 4)

Perfect Dark 2 on Steam =D =D =D

Alan Wake on Steam

umm..what else?

NOTE****- Nevermind =(, I was just reminded that Microsoft will most likely still use GFWL on the Steam Game. LAME, but w/e At Least it is Still Better then buying it off Games for Windows LIVE Marketplace.

I can't see that abomination selling well on PC.

I thought this game already came out, but that is good that they are putting games on other services. Too bad I don't want fable 3, after the disappointment of fable 2.APiranhaAteMyVa

So because they released a fail system and retracted it their helping it now? If they wanted to help it they would have allowed alan wake to release on PC

[QUOTE="APiranhaAteMyVa"]Opinion vary but for me, Fable 3 was miles better than Fable 2 so ya may want to at least check it out - I had a blast while it lasted. :)

Is this MS' first game published by them to be released on Steam?

If so, it's a step in the right direction at least.

How is this helping PC gaming?

i can then see ms turning around and saying that one of its top bestest games (fable 3 :roll:) didnt sell well on steam so they ar ditching the pc market....again

Don't know what it is with gfwl, but it makes dirt2 crash when I'm connected to the internet.

hopefully they continue to do so, GFWL is the wrost thing for pc games

You realize the game still uses GFWL? It's simply being released through steam, not using steamworks SajuukSW

TC's fail logic is fail...

Fable III not being GFWL ONLY... is no indication of GFWL not being present, and even less to do with MS having Console exclusives ported to the PC.

TC is mixed up on 2 different levels. Thread = FAIL!

sony and nonty are killing PC :P

Fable 3 is no better nor worse. Its still just crappy glorified action game, where the combat is horrendous. The only reason the game is passable is because of its decent writing. It brings absolutely no challenge to the table whatsoever.

For someone who always loves a challenge, Im amazed that you've given it any praise.

Games for windows live would be so awesome if it had crossplay with xbox 360 gamers

not on FPS, but fighters and racers, Dirt 2 and SF4 use GFWL... cmon Microsoft
