Is Live for Windows an Attempt to Lockout Other Platforms? 2007.101
I was thinking about Microsoft’s initiative to push Live on the PC. This at first seemed nice, consolidation and playing with your friends, voice in every game, and etc I would be willing to pay for this service (I know most people piss and moan about the idea of that, but I’m fine with paying for a high quality of service). But the real thing is it would seem that any game that uses Live for Windows can only play with other Windows users (big deal to me, overall not that big of a deal though) and possibly only run on Windows servers (big deal). That is totally weak.
