Killer Instinct announced for PC

Shit, nice. Bought the $20 pack on Xbone.

Do you have to do that though? In Windows 8.1 you can still have offline users not tied to a Microsoft account.

Also I feel like none of that stuff you mentioned would prevent the game from being on Steam as a Windows-only game. Valve doesn't give a fuck.

Yes, you can makeup an offline user in Windows 10 but by default it is your Microsoft account.

I was about to be pissed as I just bought this but hearing it is cross buy made me have no regrets. Awesome. Seriously one of the best fighters out there.

I think I paid 80 dollars for this game.

40 clams for each season's ultra pack.
No regrets

YES! This is probably the best news I've heard all day. I feel bad for my friend that just bought an XB1 for this game a week ago, though...

you were never going to buy one

Backward compatibility and that Rare collection is really pushing me towards the edge, honestly.

Oh and Sunset Overdrive too. Scalebound will be the final push if I don't have one at that point. So yeah, I'll inevitably have on at some point. ;)

The new KI's soundtrack is so damn good. Pretty much all the songs are godlike. Except Spinals. It's so fucking awkward to listen to with the horrible Swedish singing :lol.

Great news I hope a lot more people play it.
A bit off-topic but I was wondering if I can get control over the OT with all new stuff for it and put a guide on the pricing scheme.

You take that back, Spinal's is one of the best.
 
In what reality? PC is getting SV5 as well, avatar bet on which sells more units in a certain spam of time?
And Street Fighter will be available through Steam, reaching a larger audience.

While we don't know for sure if Microsoft is pulling an Ubisoft or an EA on us, it's very possible their games will only be available through the revamped Windows 10 Game store they're going to have. Unless I'm mistaken.

Not when you understand the singing :(

Killer Instinct was the first game I really wanted an XBO for so knowing that its coming to PC makes me happy. I cant wait. Hope some more stuff is on the way. Gears Ultimate is also awesome.

I had no reason to buy an XB1 until the two BC announcements (Blast Corps and backwards compatibility). This KI announcement hasn't really changed things for me, as I honestly wouldn't have spent any money on KI (my fightstick isn't XB1-compatible).

If the PC version comes with the original KI and KI2 like one of the XB1 versions did, it's an instabuy. If it doesn't, I'll F2P it and see how I go.
 
Microsoft is using these games to transition people from loss leading hardware, to their all profit windows 10 store. This is likely just the beginning.

Probably, but the part that confuses me is people say they now don't have to buy Xbox One's with such glee, even though they've still paid Microsoft for a Windows license and also a copy of the game on Windows, so Microsoft is still ultimately getting their money and absorbing them into their ecosystem.

It's odd and nonsensical behavior.

Windows is a lot cheaper than an xxbox. Think of it from the perspective of someone with not much disposable income
