Where on earth did I suggest that?

I rejected it as an individual, as is my right. That is all.

But imagine some wicked ass game comes out that is under Games for Windows, you don't buy it?

Bioshock :cool:

I'm not saying I wouldn't. Maybe I would. But if publishers are paying Microsoft money just to have this unnecessary flash on the top of the box, when all the exact same info could be on a panel on the back of the box a-la minimum / recommended specs, then I'd not want to encourage this.

If the publisher pays Microsoft, then the price of the game goes up accordingly - Ie the price I pay. I won't condone having some kind of "Microsoft Tax" on every game I buy.

So really the blame lies with the publishers for cow-towing to MS?

If, and freely I admit it's nothing more than an if, there's a charge levied for being a GFW.
