Claims it has “different vision”.
Microsoft has said that its relaunch of the Games for Windows Marketplace next month will be distinct from existing services and will be flexible about publishers’ DRM requirements.
“We have a different vision that runs parallel to what [Steam] is doing,” group product manager Peter Orullian told Kotaku, describing PC games as “a place where we are doubling down”, whatever that means.
Microsoft also said that it would allow publishers to offer games with a choice of DRM (or not) depending on their own requirements.
