For all intended purposes Games for Windows is just a clever marketing scheme for Microsoft. So far there has been no meat to anything Microsoft is offering. Games still play the same as they ever did on Windows computers making the new marketing scheme sound redundant. I mean, everyone was playing games on Windows before Games for Windows came along and so far nothing has improved thus far. Why should anyone care?
What should Games for Windows be?
- A new operating system or layer that offers improved stability and removes the background processes from interfering
- A way for game developers to offer games with a more consistent level of playability from system-to-system
- Something like Dosbox that allows users to effortlessly play old-time favorites
