G'day, can anyone please explain how cross-platform works for PCs.
I have googled it but am none the wiser. I know that they mean Xbox systems run Windows 10 but what else is involved with the installation and whatever follows concerning registration accounts, etc on the PC side of it?
My son and I are keen on a game that is soon to be released "Sea Of Thieves" however the cover says "Xbox One console exclusive" even though it is said to be "cross platform" and "play anywhere" compatible.
I tried to pre-order the game from the official Microsoft web page for the game but it is all focused on Xbox claiming I need an "Xbox Live" account.
I tried to ask about it on the official forums of the game itself and that too was focused on the Xbox console and I needed an Xbox Live account just to register on the forums there.
FFS I absolutely despise how these arseholes use computers to make games for freaking consoles and forget all about making the PC version.
Of the entire Microsoft's "Sea Of Thieves" pre-order page they have devoted one line to PC which virtually says "system requirements: Windows 10 OS". Pfft
Nothing about CPU, RAM or GPU. I found more information on third party sites.
A few months ago I was really keen on another "cross platform" game "Forza Horizon 3" but I was not prepared to run the massive Trojan that is Windows 10 just for that one game.
Even though I have Windows 10 on a new hard drive that I keep outside of and disconnected from my system. I probably used it for a total of three days before I had enough of Microspy.
At least the cover of that game was "Xbox One and Windows 10 PC". Well, it mentioned "PC" on some of the covers anyway.
That's another thing. Why have some covers saying "Xbox One exclusive" and others saying "Xbox One and PC" for the same game that is meant to be "cross platform"? Is there a difference?
See my confusion?
If I buy the game with the cover saying "Xbox One exclusive" will it still work on PC?
I will be buying two installments of the game at AUS$100 each so I want to be absolutely certain before hand.
Experienced input on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Just to confirm how Microsoft hack your system while you browse their web pages.
I have never played an Xbox or made any account for it but when I was trying to do so, one page came up with all of my personal details, none of which are on my computer.
It listed my email address, full name and date of birth as soon as the page loaded. WTF?
There was more info there but I quickly closed the page and didn't read through it all.
I am running Windows 7 on this system although it is not registered in my name. So how the f*ck did Microspy get all of my personal information?
