>A) Steam is building a mutual relationship with Microsoft. Lots of gaming companies could see PC as a viable platform at last.
>B) All future Xbox exclusives could be available to PC

>E) Most companies would think twice before making exclusivity deals with Epic Games Store anymore, since a sale on Steam = a sale on Xbox. Most big corp would not take that risk dealing with EGS especially with that Apple fiasco
>F) What was once Playstation exclusives that was ported to PC could come to Xbox: Horizon Zero Dawn, Persona 4, Yakuza, Catherine, to name a few, might be playable on Xbox, exploiting the loophole
>>A) Steam is building a mutual relationship with Microsoft. Lots of gaming companies could see PC as a viable platform at last. Cope. You fags have been saying this for over a decade now.
>Most companies would think twice before making exclusivity deals with Epic Games Store anymore, since a sale on Steam = a sale on Xbox Yeh because companies are gonna turn down a mountain of money. Epic is here cope.
Why do you still namefag, namefaggot? Every time I see you no one replies to you, because practically everybody has filtered you. Just take the fucking name off.

But whats in it for microsoft? Thats a ton of money lost on digital sales. I get that steam might give them a cut for sales on the xsx, but its likely going to be a big loss regardless
>But whats in it for microsoft? The absolutely largest library avaible. Nobody is gonna buy a PS5 if you also can play your steam library on your Xbox.
it's not going to be steam games on xbox. that's just too inconvenient for microsoft since they'll lose sales to a rival platform. it will be something like gamepass coming to steam (like ea play just came to steam), cross purchases on xbox/steam (just like cross purchases on xbox and windows store) or something VR related like steamVR coming to xbox with half life alyx debuting on console on xbox.

Fake news, based on a tweet by an absolute fucking nobody. >ccn.com lmao
>gamepass on steam >$60 game vs $15 monthly subscription don't be retarded

>people think its just as easy as pressing a button and making a game made with a totally different architecture and file system work on another console stop!!!!!!!!!
>Nobody is gonna buy a PS5 if you also can play your steam library on your Xbox. but why? Steam gamers tend to also have a pc?
Isaiah Reyes
Same architecture dumbass.
Gavin Brown
Guys, this is nig.

Makes perfect financial sense to both valves & Microsoft, they’d be completely dominant, Sony & egs would be completely fucked in comparison, we’ve seen it with big tech, how google, Facebook & Twitter all collude to fuck over any and all competition

But you just replied to him?
Christian Diaz
if xbox was allowed to run steam it would have free online, which is not something microsoft wants
this rumour is fake
Elijah Phillips
It’s just some loser who gets no attention in real life. So even if everyone’s just calling him a massive attention-seeking faggot on here, it still gives him the buzz of being noticed in some way. That’s why he posts so prolifically. Super cringe.
Nolan Kelly
more reason not to get a xbox if pc has it
this was Gaben's long game plan all along!
Julian Butler
But not everyone tends to have the newest GPU and/or a 4k monitor. You're not gonna get 400+ FPS 165hz at 4k on an Xbox Sex, but a (potential) 60 fps @ 4k is something you would be able to on Xbox Sex.

gamepass for pc is $10 a month. the biggest limitation of current gamepass pc is all games that are included in the service need to have a uwp port. that's why doom eternal is already on gamepass xbox but its coming at a later date on gamepass pc since they need to port it to windows store. if gamepass comes to steam they can use the existing steam library and it's a massive benefit for the service.
Jaxon Watson
theres a 0% chance this is true but if it was it would kill sony overnight
Eli Davis
>@X_gamer_kid Why does this trash keep getting posted? Do you dipshits just see the Xbox logo and assume it's an account you can trust? I can go on Twitter and post made-up garbage with zero evidence too.
Christopher Cooper
I mean gaben really wanted steam in the living room and now he could have it
That's why rumor is put in the subject title, congratulations, you just deciphered the ethos of the thread
Carter Ramirez
B already happened
Christian Martin
I don't see this happening unless the contract has a clause for Windows to support win32 software indefinitely, since Valve kinda blew it when they tried pushing Steam Machines and Linux. The only way Gaben would enter into an arrangement like this is for some big-picture type assurances that MS won't kill his cash cow on their primary platform.

>>A) Steam is building a mutual relationship with Microsoft. Lots of gaming companies could see PC as a viable platform at last. You better have source to back this up. Valve is at the forefront of building Linux gaming as a competitor for Windows even though it makes no sense financially, just to have a plan B for when MS tries to fuck them over. It's not like they're short on money either. >>D) Most Steam games could be playable on Xbox, some of those raunchy Japanese titles even. An Xbox owner been eyeing that Panty Licker Simulator on Steam for a while? He'll go ahead and download it through his Xbox MS would never allow this because suddenly you'd have all the same problems older games already have on Windows, except unfixable. The best you could ever hope from this hypothetical situation is a small, curated selection of games that are known to work.
Seems unlikely, if only because there would be little reason for anyone to buy games within Xbox' own ecosystem, which is how they make their money back on their loss-leader.
If this were true, I would buy one solely to access steam games (not interested in Gamepass, every xbox game is also on pc), so how would they make their money back off of my purchase?
