GTA IV On PC Goes Exclusive With 'Games For Windows Live'
Erik J writes "Microsoft has announced that the PC version of Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto IV will exclusively use Games for Windows Live for its multiplayer mode when it hits shelves November 18th. Rockstar founder Sam Houser explained the decision: 'As we work toward the release of the PC version, Games for Windows Live affords us the opportunity to seamlessly translate the multiplayer console experience for PC gamers, the service is a natural fit for the platform and we strongly believe it will help in building a strong online community around GTA IV PC.'"
Wired is running a story suggesting that this release could save the rather unpopular Microsoft PC gaming platform.
Because it's a shit platform, and no one bother developing anything for it. I'm sure you'll never even see a shitty knockoff of GTA IV, hell it wouldn't surprise me if 'Mac Gamers' refuse to accept this fact. Let's be serious, Gaming on Mac is an oxymoron.
Umm, actually, you're a moron. The Great Depression was ample proof that the global market is, in fact, global. We continue to see that in shifts in stocks at various exchanges around the world as the react to each other. If the US economy collapses completely, the world WILL go into a severe depression. This is not a one way street. If a serious and total economic collapse happened in any number of other regions in the world, the US economy would also go down. In other words, we're all going down together. PS. The current standard for international trade is still the dollar. Its pretty obvious that until its no longer the dollar, anything that effects the value of the dollar (the strength US economy, for instance) will affect global trade/markets. Just wanted to throw this out there for you in case the paragraph above wasn't enough.
Do I have to pay an addiotnal fee for the BSOD?
