Play video (Compile/Mao) in the past few years, the Microsoft Gaming Department has devoted much of its energy to its Xbox platform, and the PC platform seems increasingly out of focus.  Now the company reiterates that it will focus on this area and increase its input on the PC platform. Microsoft's gaming Studio (Microsoft Game UBM, said the studio, in fact, is much larger than the average gaming company), said Dave Luehmann, the president, "we've invested too much resources on the home machine platform, and PC users have been left out of the cold."  Now we have to make adjustments, on the PC platform, Microsoft will devote more resources. Games for Windows This is not the first time Microsoft has realised that it has neglected its PC games.  As early as Peter Moore was in 2006, the lack of attention to the PC platform was a serious mistake and promised that Microsoft's support for PC games would rise a bit as Windows Vista was launched. But Petermole's voice just fell, the company has shut down its several Ace PC game studios, such as Aces (Microsoft Simulation Flight series), FASA (Fighter, Shadow bolted), and even countless players grieved ensemble (Empire era, Halo War),  Even after 2009 years of Microsoft's renewed commitment to the PC game, it is still not possible to block the steps to close the studios. Microsoft Gaming Studio Ensemble Classic Empire Times Luehmann said: "Other companies may take us as a barometer, perhaps Microsoft's task is to focus on the PC as much as possible, but we are not doing enough, we are gradually adjusting." "So much to say, Microsoft's current action is to launch a ghost fable on the PC 3, Empire era online, and a new generation of Microsoft simulation flights, and other a batch of other works are also in the planning."  In fact, we do not understand, according to XBOX360 Development Framework, a game at the same time on the Xbox platform and PC platform launch, how simple? Microsoft is the dominant PC operating platform, PC gaming platform is now being valve steam platform, even Apple's App Store partition, and Microsoft's response is its games for Windows live platform. The seamless combination of Windows Live and the powerful hardware and software resources are the tools Microsoft has against both.  But the level of interactivity and user awareness of Windows Live and host platforms is not yet strong enough to defeat the other two.  Recently, Relic Entertainment (home, War Hammer) announced its masterpiece "Battle Hammer-War Dawn II: Rebellion," will give up support for the games for Windows live platform, continue to support the steam platform, but the previous two platforms are supported. Will Microsoft's support for PC games continue to wool? Microsoft, Force it! (Edit/Ming)
