Forward to the Past - Steam vs Microsoft: The Secret War Microsoft Lost

Does anyone remember Games For Windows Live? Windows Vista? How about DirectX 10? All that stuff comes from 2000s. Not many people know the hidden battle between Steam and Microsoft at the time. I suggest you watch a video about how Microsoft tried to take over the entire PC market and why it failed. I originally wanted to make a video about the gaming service "Games For Windows Live" (or GFWL) but I dug up this interesting story. Although I can't do without mentioning GFWL, I'll tell you what it was and where it led. I hope you enjoy, thanks for watching! 0:00 Intro 0:44 Steam Development 3:13 From Consoles to the PC market 5:08 Windows Vista and DirectX10 6:53 Games For Windows Live 10:40 Steam over GFWL, Windows 8 13:16 The End for Microsoft Project 15:45 Outro Key words: 1.
