Gaming Question
posted 1 year ago by Smith1980 1 year ago by Smith1980 +16 / -0

Sorry for the dumb question but I noticed I will be able to buy Starfield on Steam which is great because I was about to sign up for Xbox gamepass. I thought Starfield is an exclusive, so how come you can get it on steam?

Microsoft doesn't consider Steam as competition, and then you have to register it with a Microsoft account.

Ohhh. Ok. That makes sense.

Microsoft only does things that make it more dominant in a field. They have admitted fully that the Xbox brand is entirely to stop Sony from making a PC competition. If Sony leaves, don't expect MSoft to stay. Windows is their actual money maker.

Microsoft is constantly trying to produce game software, therefore I think the Xbox brand is a means for promoting that. But they don't care if you buy their software from Steam. They might make a little bit more from their own storefront, but you're right it wouldn't be worth it maintaining the whole Xbox brand just to try to make money as a Steam competitor.

I love nothing more than opening a game in steam only to have the third party app crash or ask me to sign back in for some odd reason.

lmao yeah I noticed that. I am an old head and used to play the original one on PC and loved it. I bought siege without doing any research and was highly disappointed.

In my head I’m thinking Skyrim in space. It sounds like the sci fi game I’ve been waiting for. I feel sometimes that I’ve hyped this game up so much in my head that it can’t possibly live up to it. Same with Elder Scrolls 6
