Microsoft Vows To ‘Step Up’ PC Gaming

Microsoft Vows To ‘Step Up’ PC Gaming

Nick Hernandez 27 Sep

After years of ignoring PC and focusing all its efforts on Xbox 360, Microsoft has finally admitted that it needs to “step up” it’s PC gaming efforts.

“There’s been a fair bit of criticism aimed at Microsoft that we were spending a lot of our focus on console, and we need to be putting resources behind PC as well,” Microsoft Game Studios general manager Dave Luehmann said.

“Other companies should look to Microsoft for leadership, but I’m not sure they do. It is our job to lead the way on PC,” he added. “And in some ways we are doing that and in other ways we are not. So we need to step up.”

This is not the first time Microsoft makes such a promise. In fact, former Microsoft gaming executive Peter Moore promised in 2006 that the release of Windows Vista would mark a sort of PC gaming Renaissance.

I still think they are just all talk and might just release a terrible game or two. What are your thoughts?

based out of London, Ontario; and has been flexing his literary skills for about 2 years. Initially attracted to the space due to his kinship with the creative minds that tend to socialize through the gaming industry, and having played games all his life; it led to a natural willingness to learn more about both the people, and entities that drive innovation in the space. A self-confessed Conter Strike: Source aficionado he claims the aforementioned as his favourite game of all time, simply due to the sheer amount of hours he has spent in the game. An optimist by nature, Nick tends to see the best in everyone, even if they can’t in themselves.

    I really hope they’re not all talk. I’m one of those rare gamers who doesn’t own a console of any sort — my gaming is done with my PC. I lost a lot of respect for Microsoft when they shuttered their ACES Studio, which had produced their top-notch simulators, but if they actually think they’ve seen the error of their ways and can bring strong, fresh, compelling games to the PC, then I’m all for it!

    I just hope their efforts don’t end up being a pale clone of some other successful game or a really, really lousy port of a console game. I want fresh, I want new, I want exciting.

    C’mon, Microsoft….bring it. Show us PC gamers the love; we helped you get where you are, after all.
