Microsoft to digitally distribute PC game titles | |
|
||
| Time: 07:00 EST/12:00 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||
|
In addition to new Windows Live social-networking features, Microsoft will soon be offering digital distribution of PC game titles.
Chris Early, general manager of games for Windows Live, confirmed in an interview with Shacknews that Microsoft has definite plans to distribute full PC titles through its Marketplace application, taking on market leader Steam. This is a very smart move by Microsoft, though I would have expected the company to have either bought its way into the market or to have made PC game distribution a bigger part of its online footprint already. If you consider the vast number of PCs that run Windows and then look at the number of PC games sold every year, Microsoft already has the dominant platform. This approach will further cement games into the Windows user base. | ||
