Microsoft has been releasing their PC games on Steam the same day they do on their own store for a few years now.
- awill 5y agoI'm hopeful this continues. I'm sure it's deliberate to make GamePass seem like a killer deal. Hey, it worked for Netflix. Spend $100 on a dvd boxset of your favourite TV series, or stream it all for $10/mo
- skohan 5y agoDo you really expect them to continue this practice if they own a dominant share of exclusive new games? With Minecraft they did the opposite: they made bedrock a windows exclusive, and required going through the MS storefront to access it. MS's track record seems to be only to be pro-consumer so long as it helps their bottom line.
