Seriously though, forget this. PC gaming has been doing this since Steam came out in 2003. I think it's such bullstuff that because Microsoft is integrating it with their existing stuffty social networking structures and making it integrate with stuffty Facebook games like Farmville and Bejewled, suddenly it's "revolutionary" and "the future".

Microsoft, once again, tries way too hard to "fit in" with the rest of the market.

Seriously, just stick to making Windows and other Microsoft software. We honestly don't want a stuffty DRM service.

Hell, even Xbox could go for all I care.

Here's an idea: why don't they just work together?! It would be the best thing ever to have SteamPlay across these platforms.

And people thought Apple had stupid ideas...

I love the subliminal messages in this ad.
Using our product will get that guy you like to like you
Using our product will make you cooler than the other moms
Using our product will mean you don't have to do boring work

Great job Microsoft.

Steam and Microsoft should get together and make cross-platform support for all games, like they did for PS3's Portal 2.

We need to make a PC game...

Let's recreate Farmville and make people pay real money for virtual clothes. Are you ready to change the world? I am.

Also, if Microsoft pays any attention to the internet this won't go anywhere. The sheer number of dislikes on that video should be enough to convince them this is a mistake.

Microsoft.
Xlive.
ignore them.
