Again, not at the show, but Dota 2 Reborn custom games and Source 2 tools were released

Also, Halo MCC on PC hinted at:

 

 

Yeah, but Major Nelson's message means nothing. I don't think MCC will be on the PC for quite a while, maybe a year after Halo 5 releases on the Xbox One but with Halo Online catering to the PC crowd, it probably will not release on the PC for even longer.

But at least this is a start of a trend of Microsoft caring about PC gaming.

I am glad Hammer looks so much better in Source 2. https://cdn.steamstatic.com/apps/dota2/videos/reborn/day2_f835c69d/hammerpromo.webm

Odds are higher now that they're bringing Gears Ultimate, killer instinct and fable legends all to Windows 10.   With the new Windows Store, I could see them pushing games through that exclusively and not having to go with using something like steam which deep down I'm sure they don't want to do at all.

If I get a Windows version of one of these games and play on Xbox too, do I need to buy it twice? Also, would my saves and achievements sync between the two versions?

It depends if the game is cross-buy or not, but with big AAA titles I have a feeling odds are they won't be unlike the smaller indie games which tend to be more and more.  As for cheevos and saves, they should sync, if it's the same Live account, and we're talking cloud saves then yeah, I don't see why not?

Do you mean that the odds are higher that all these games will be exclusively on Windows 10?

 

As for Steam, although they don't want to, they have to. They've been putting all their games on Steam, and I can't imagine the hate they would get if they didn't put their games on Steam.

There is only one way Microsoft can be seen as caring about PC - it releases all the Halos for the PC in Windows Store and releases all upcoming Halos for Windows and their potato box at the same time.

Yeah, releasing Halo for Windows would be amazing. However, I don't expect them to release any new titles.

No sir, they have announced Killer Instinct is coming to PC correct? I'm hoping the rumors are true. This is care and loving for the PC if true. This is a likely candidate for cross platform play as well.

 

Also Gears of War Ultimate Edition for PC with 4K support. Yeah, the empire is striking back, finally.

In all honesty, that would be a start.

    • Google's next-gen Tensor AI chips might be produced by Samsung, report says by Hamid Ganji Image via Google Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is produced in collaboration with companies such as Broadcom and TSMC, but a recent report suggests that the search giant is in talks with Samsung to hand over part of the production to the Korean tech company. According to a report by The Information, citing people familiar with the matter, Google has begun talks with Samsung about using its chip manufacturing capacity for the next generation of Tensor AI chips. Google’s upcoming TPUs are reportedly codenamed “Icefish” and will be produced using Samsung's 2-nanometer process technology. Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to produce only a portion of the next-generation Tensor chips, with most of the production remaining at TSMC. The Information says the new Tensor chips are currently in the design stage and are scheduled to enter mass production in 2028. TSMC is generally considered one of the most reliable chip manufacturing partners and is trusted by tech giants such as Apple and Google. However, the growing demand for TSMC’s AI chips, combined with the company’s focus on meeting demand from AI data centers, has reportedly prompted Google to seek additional manufacturing partners for its next-generation TPUs. Besides Samsung and TSMC, Intel could also be assigned part of the production. The Information reported this week is that Google has begun talks with Intel to produce up to three million TPUs in 2028. However, this is not the first time Google has partnered with Samsung on chip production, as Samsung has previously manufactured Tensor chips for Pixel smartphones. Google’s Tensor Processing Unit is used in cloud data centers and competes with NVIDIA’s chips, which currently dominate the market. By relying on in-house chips, Google can not only reduce its dependence on third-party providers but also create new revenue opportunities. The company has already supplied its TPUs to the AI firm Anthropic.
    • Reminder that the Premium and Ultimate plans already come with a 100 hour per month limit, which you then have to pay more to increase in 15 hour blocks.
    • It does invite Linux because MS should have been improving their products all along these years instead chose to ignore the users now this year they’re making all of these improvements to their products where as Linux doesn’t have this kind of problems in fact it has gotten so good I can even play Windows games in Steam that I no longer ever needed Windows to carry on with my life, unlike you still use Windows and chose to try beat down down those who don't use Windows because they love their LG TV. (Surprisingly I actually own a 55” LED LG TV and it has been going strong for almost 14 years, longer than any Sony TV”)
    • As much as I love owning my own hardware, it's hard to argue with the value. I'm not a huge gamer, I'd actually be interested in a cheaper plan with limited monthly hours, or even a pay-by-the-hour plan.
    • Well, they (LibreOffice/The Document Foundation) are bitchy and whiny, yes, but they're right, at least this time. It doesn't make sense to market something as "free and open source to thwart dependency on foreign companies' software" but at the same time, using the formats of said companies (Microsoft) by default. That way, you are changing nothing, essentially, you're just using another UI. We all know that users just use the defaults and almost never change them. I'm not saying they should drop other formats altogether, but they shouldn't default to the thing they're trying to run away from in the first place. If you're gonna do something, just go all the way in, don't stop in the middle, IMO. Otherwise, shut up and move along.
