After the announcement of Portal 2 and the intertwined exclusive feature of steam and cross-platform gaming on PS3 and PC, many Xbox360 users really expected Microsoft to allow such features extended to XboxLive, the notion I 100% don’t agree with. I’ve been a Steam user for years now, but i will neglect that topic for my editorial on the said network merger.
So, Microsoft Game Studios and Lionhead announced that Fable 3 for Windows will be available through Valve’s distribution Platform, STEAM. This announcement will surely going down well with PC gamers, including myself simply because i want to have all my games tied to an account, for the sake of management. Now PC gamers will have even more choices because Fable 3 will be available in Retail Stores, Steam and of course on Games for Windows Marketplace.
“Fable III” will be available for pre-order on both Steam and Games for Windows Marketplace starting 21 April.
