Microsoft Wants to Invest More in PC Gaming

Microsoft Games Studios General Manager Dave Luehmann said that the company “needs to invest” more in PC gaming. He told gaming news blog Computer and Video Games that “Windows is an important space for us so we need to invest our first-party IP in it as much as anybody else. We cant really ask other companies to step up if the first party isn’t stepping up.”
Luehmann continues on about how Microsoft may have been focusing more on the Xbox 360 console and not paying a whole lot of attention to the PC platform as much as they should be.
I’m glad that they’re finally realizing this, and actually, they’re already starting to focus more on the PC with Fable 3 coming this Fall, as well as the just announced Microsoft Flight and Age of Empires Online.

From what I’ve seen of AOE online it doesn’t look like ms takes pc gaming that seriously anymore. It looks like a dumb down, standard, nothing special rts. Revive ensemble studios then we can start talking and from a recent dev interview that I’ve seen it looks like fable 3 is 360 exclusive. Either way there was nothing in fable 2 that merits any enthusiasm for the sequel. I’ve learn from his recent games that Peter molyneux will say just about anything to get you excited even if it means taking a little something from … , fudge it, I’ll say it… Lying. Politically correct word = embelish
