    Guess what? MS doesn't care about PC sales. Their minds are set on us using the Windows Store. That's where they hope the majority of their revenue will come from. So to them, selling another PC is second.

    Turn 10 Studios has announced that Forza Motorsport 6 is coming to PC (Windows 10 exclusive of course, what did you expect?) as a free-to-play game.
     
    It's a little different from the original game on Xbox One.

    At launch, there will feature 12 themed racing events, more than 60 cars, and a new objective system, which challenges players to complete specific, skill-based tasks for additional in-game currency.

    Yes, you earn in-game currency to purchase cars and presumably tracks. Or you can buy them with real money.

    Looks like MS is looking at PC as more of a free-to-play model with this and Fable: Legends. Makes sense since it's a low barrier of entry.

    UPDATE: Looks like Konami didn't go through with the original take down. 
    Original:

    ----------
     
    Konami has taken down a YouTube video making claims about what really happened with the company and Kojima Productions, only to give more validity to these statements. I have an increasingly growing suspicion that this may be true.
     
    According to George “Super Bunnyhop” Weidman, Konami's CEO (Kozuki) wants to move the company away from console gaming and focus strictly on mobile gaming and gambling (not yet legal in Japan). This sudden new direction was put into action almost immediately, merging smaller teams into larger teams: the audio team, animation team, programming team, all working on multiple (assumingly mobile) games at once.
     
    The biggest concern lies with Kojima's team - as they are not needed anymore. Kozuki believes Kojima uses too much money and spends too much time for very little profit. He would rather hire less skilled employees for less pay, while trying to keep the same revenue. However, he can't just fire the whole team at once. Instead he is forcing them to quit on their own terms. After Kojima was fired from Konami (what we've all suspected), the team was cut off from their main server and had no internet for weeks. Frequent black-outs, security doors not working, people being forced to move desks every few days - all being implemented purposefully to make their lives more miserable.

    TLDR? A man bought a home with the assurance from Comcast that they will provide him internet service. Long story short, they lied - more like they over promised without looking into his situation.
     
    One can argue that the owner should have done more homework, but IMO he should be able to trust what Comcast is telling him.
