I'd play it, but none of the windows apps work on my computer. I even installed win10 JUST so I could play Forza Horizon 3 and it doesn't even work.
Why can't Microshaft just release their games on Steam like everyone else? Games are dirt cheap all the time anyways so it doesn't matter if steam doesn't have any competition

Windows 10 is actually doing well for games, more so on other platforms though.

They've also released some great ports, and have made UWP somewhat worthwhile.

The Store itself, however, was created by retards and still hasn't been fixed. That's the problem right there.

Most PC gamers use Win10. It might be shit, and you might hate it, but that's how it is.

MS has no clue how to appeal to the average retarded PC gamer, that's all it comes down to.

LINUX WAS SUPPOSED TO WIN!

Well the first step towards any of that being successful is for anybody to even know the WINDOWS STORE EXISTS as a game platform.

Because literally nobody knows about anything but Steam and a handful of people use Origin.

>>360663117
No, but somebody apparently made a "fix" for it.

>>360662710
You mean Valve's statistic that just shows it is installed on 4% more PCs than 7?
Is that what you are referring to?
A 4% lead on Steam (only reflecting total installations and no other information) is hardly "Most PC gamers"

Win10 is still trailing, for good reason.

Anon, mathematically speaking most Steam users DON'T use Win10%. Because if 48% DO, that means 52% DON'T.

And 52% is more than 48%. Do you see how that works?

>>360662482
Well me and my family are sticking with Windows 7 (and macOS Sierra for my Macbook), but the average normie went on and installed Windows 10. Right now Windows 7 is only as big as it is because sysadmins didn't "upgrade" to it.

Halo 3 is the only one I would buy.

it flopped because NOBODY MARKETED IT FOR ANYONE, i cant stress this enough, people dont know it even fucking came out.

League of Legends advertised hard. People play LoL. Overwatch advertised VERY hard. People play Overwatch.

Now if i go out there and tell any gamer this shit came out, theyre gonna be suprised. Nobody knows Halo 5 came out for free. Admit it, they fucked up big time.

That's not a big surprise when it didn't work for people on launch, just like the Master Chief collection. Wasn't that broken for weeks on end?

How is that allowed?

Not exactly how statistics work anon.

48% market share is a lot, that 52% is split between windows 8,7,mac operating systems, and all those linux distros, so that 48% is the largest group of users on the same os

>>360665967
No I know its not technically but you're just nitpicking. What the guy meant was Windows 10 is the most popular by far if you look at them all separately.

Also you're including all these small percentage groups running less supported and more outdated Operating systems, unless those stats are fresh, most of them probably don't play as much as the Win 10 or Win 7 group. There's not telling how active they are.

Odds are if you want to play games, you're going to be running Windows 10. 7 is still an option, but not much.

But yea you're right Dwight, MOST people haven't installed Steam on windows 10.

>>360663880
win 10 was a disaster in business environments because it was causing tons of driver conflicts at offices with the forced update to 7.

t. sysadmin for multiple companise

>>360664461
they rarely market any of their win10 games. I literally find out by a twitter post, or by accidentally finding it while browsing the store.

microsoft claims they've extended an olive branch to the PC community, but that's a load of shit. they continue to force their app store, even tho they admitted themselves that games for windows live was a dud. they've received a ton of feedback from gamers about which halos we want to play on the PC, but decide to give us everything but that(where the fuck is H3?) and on top of that, they release spartan assault for the pc, gave us the shitty mobile version. even when they decided to add it to steam, it's still the shitty mobile version.

People are speaking about W10 having good market share and that's true, it does. But most PC gamers don't give a shit about the W10 Store, which is the sole place that you can buy the vast majority of Xbox console exclusives on PC.

My gaming PC is frozen at 2011 specs and won't get any hardware upgrades or software updates.
What's installed on it runs fine. But just like Amiga in 1994 it's a dead horse and going to be phased out by the end of this decade.

The vast majority of people don't know any better and it auto-installed for them. The "it just works" crowd simply don't care how things work. It'll be irrelevant soon anyway because nearly half the population does more than half of their internet usage on a phone. Projections indicate that by the end of next year 51% of the population will primarily use phones or tablets to access the internet. Traditional computers and even laptops will be obsolete in the eyes of most people and only used for business or by "enthusiasts."

What's so wrong with W10?

You guys do know steam is a "botnet" too, right?

It collects basically the same telemetry that W10 does through its "Web helper app" aka Mandatory steam spyware.

If you don't want to install W10, that's your prerogative.

Don't pretend its because you actually know what you're talking about.

You don't use W10 because a bunch of faggots were whining about it on /v/

Even after the patches stop coming I will seek to continue gaming on a linux system (zorin OS looks cute, otherwise ubuntu, as all it takes to move from one system to another is to back up /home folder), as I do not believe windows 10 will ever be as stable as win7.
On top of that if there are no permanent ways to disable telemetry a.k.a microshaft seeing what do you do at all times, then I won't ever let that shit on any of my machines, or machines belonging to my family.

Except that's fucking wrong. Straight off the bat I can tell you the task manager is a piece of shit now, search function barely works, enabling basic functionality in explorer means you have a giant fucking Word style toolbar that takes up 1/8th of any window you open. You're a fucking mongoloid if you think 10 is superior in any way. It works, that's about it, but nothing about 10 puts it above 7. It is better than 8 but that's not saying much.

>>360672084
Has nothing to do with that. What it has to do with is your credit rating. Since they have access to your PC they know more about you than they can get through most other avenues. They then sell this information to any company that wants it and credit rating agencies will be chief among them. The more they know, the more 'accurately' lenders can gauge whether they should lend to you.

>>360672059
It's cool desu, but you're right, I have never experienced anything like this.

It's pretty fucking crazy the buck stops with Microsoft for reason. Google can probably effectively guess what you had for breakfast but none of these fags crying about privacy are going to stop using any of their services (and Google have actually reported people to the police for the stuff they find on gmail and the like). Not to mention 7 is really showing its age at this point and is a prime target for actual spyware.

I'm not saying you should willingly give up privacy, but if you go anywhere near the internet in this day and age you've already pissed all over your own principles.

This has to do with their financial future though. They will need to take out student loans, car loans, and eventually a mortgage. In the modern world, everyone needs credit.

I wouldn't agree with you. I really like windows 8.1 on my touchscreen laptop. I think it's a perfect system if you have a touchscreen.

Anon, to lease a car you need CREDIT. They're not going to lease to just anyone. And good luck with your 2000 dollar clunker you saved up 50 bucks a month for that will break down every 3 months. You'll have quite a bit of trouble staying employed when you can't consistently make it to work.

>They're not going to lease to just anyone.

Unless you have terrible credit, they're never ever going to refuse you a loan.

Also lenders like people with middling credit scores, because they know they will most likely get more interest off of all their missed payments.

Don't forget that today's world is over connected, and if you owe someone money they will find you an petition the govt to garnish your wages.

don't ever borrow money unless you're desperate, or putting a mortgage down on a house.

The whole point of this was that MS spying on your PC can give you bad credit though

>>360673529

Because I've been using W10 since they handed it out for free and havent encountered any of those issues, besides the update thing.

You can disable updates if you're that concerned, but I honestly don't care. I have them scheduled for early morning so they never fuck up my games.

Never experienced any of those other issues, so I can't weigh in with my opinion.

It was 50 bucks a month. And I wasn't the one who came up with that number.

>>360673773

I don't mean bad credit

I mean TERRIBLE credit, sub 500.

Money lending is a huge industry and they love to lend money to retards who can't pay it back, because they get to leech interest off of that person for years.

There's more predatory lenders now than at any time in history.

>>360668176
Not without some way of transferring steam purchases.

Wow, an article from almost a year ago.

>>360674063

You can't get a sub 700 score without ever taking on a loan.

Can't even disable updates on w7. Had them disabled since before w10 was released and MS still have managed to push a few updates including w10 attempt rape.
Still get an odd update now and then and it goes through firewall like it wasn't even there.

>>360674185
Without a name the location and PC info is useless as identifying you irl.

>>360674348

Yeah just like turning off all the privacy stuff in the pc settings menu in Windows 10 :^)

You guys are really forgiving of telemetry when anyone other than MS does it for some reason.

>>360674726
They're trying to force people to use their store rather than Steam. Putting the games on Steam would defeat that.

I'm not fucking joking. I don't know if you have any security measures in place, but still running any unpatched OS is just plain stupid. Mark my words, this will give you a lot of hard times, though I hope that you are right and I am wrong, honestly.

>>360674551
I just meant as an alternative to Duck Duck Go.
DDG is based in US and marketed so almost surely has gotten NSL or similar and they had no warrant canary.
They were evasive about censoring NSFW content.
The founder was involved with scammy spam social network back in the day.

>>360674945
Not him but I had a Vista sp1 PC for 7 years I never updated. Antivirus shit never found anything. You only get malware if you actually fuck up and install one or your browser isn't updated/doesn't have a ton of blocking software that has hust lists of known malware sites blocked and you go to a malicious site.

Have some light reading.

You're affected by everything as far back as 2009.

>>360675261
What you said has absolutely nothing to do with what I said you virgin neckbeard. There is literally nothing wrong with patches (granted, some of them are ms telemetry and other shit, but if you are as tech literate as you claim to be you will know how to disable the ones that are dodgy). Pushing win10 onto people's computers and force-installing it is beyond wrong and I hate ms for their tactics as much as the other guy, but not installing any patches at all is literally like locking your home door by putting a heavy stone in front of it to block it instead of installing a lock.

>>360661973
Pretty sure the game ran at like 30 fps on my modern system and had really weird mouse accel going on. Not interested in playing shitty console ports.

>>360675327
I'm not the guy who you were talking to who has unpatched 7. I'm patched up to 2014 or so. Everyone who is paranoid enough not to update their OS has tons of security measures in place, like firewall settings that block everything but what is specifically allowed, malware site blocklists on ublockorigin and antivirus programs.

>>360675635
Again, I'm not the W7 guy

This game never fucking worked for me, every time i would go to join a server it would give me a connection error.

>>360675335
That's fair enough if you actually take measures to secure yourself with browsers+extension and antivirus. But I still treat patches as additional layer of security should any of other things failed. You cannot be too careful nowadays.

>>360674348
>Can't even disable updates on w7
You can if you don't have genuine version, which you shouldn't.

I don't know whether any of you chaps are up to date with what MS is doing with updates on W7-8 now, but I heard they're making it like W10 where you are forced to accept everything to get anything. Is this true?

>>360675804
Like I have said in >>360675842 that's alright if there are other security measures in place. Still I think that if the patch doesn't interrupt normal computer operation and has no telemetry bullshit in it I don't see why should I not install it, as it's additional layer of security on top of what you have.

It's the ignorant who keep their machines unpatched with no security in place that are the worst.

>>360661973
>Exclusive to Windows 10

I really hate how if a game doesn't get released on anything other than Steam the community is dead as fuck I haven't played since release but did they fix the memory leak?

>>360661973
>shitty halo shit
>windows 10
>windows store

>>360676104
I think the main issue is all the trouble one has to go through to find out which updates are telemetry related that really grinds people's gears and makes them want to just stop updating entirely. MS is creating a lot of these issues by their policies of not giving users the ability to disable telemetry entirely.

>>360676275
I think they said crossplay should be coming.

>Halo

Maybe Microsoft should release a game from a series that's actually worth a fuck.

>>360666815

Windows 10 is an OS it has nothing to do with videogames. Don't be retarded.
There's nothing special about windows 10 despite what MS wants you to believe.

Tip: pirate windows 10 Enterprise LTSB. No apps, no Store, no ads. And you can just play your videogames like always.

>>360676996
Pirating an OS is very very risky

>not having windows drive/tower for gaming and a unix laptop for real stuff

>>360675875
Gamers are power users. They shouldn't even be running Home.

The only version of Windows you should have on your gaming PC is Enterprise/Ultimate. Every time someone bitches about Windows they run the "free" version. You'd think this was known by now.

>>360661973
It doesn't work on old CPUs. I have an 1100T, can't run the game at all. A lot of people with older rigs literally can't run the game. I can play every other modern release with an 1100T/380, but not Halo 5 on PC.
