News::Is Microsoft Kidding Itself?

CCC Says: "While some might call this a comeback, others suggest it never left. This outlet (as well as many others across the ole interwebs) reported months back that Microsoft had officially had enough of supporting its fledgling Games for Windows service, who subsequently pulled the plug after years of only moderate success. In its wake, Steam has continued its rise as THE dominate name on PC (bringing several former Windows Live properties into the fold in the aftermath). While this was no big loss to most PC gamers (as the service was far from exemplarily) it did mark the end of Microsofts presence in the desktop gaming market to some degree. However, it appears that old line about their demise being greatly exaggerated would be quite apropos in this case."
