Another sky is falling story. A business competitor calling out another business over its competitive practices - say it ain't so!

I don't see how MS could win in this scenario.
I mean... If they sabotaged our sim for instance, I'm sure not going to run to them for another game or sim.
Wouldn't this get into antitrust lawsuits etc? Or something along those lines.
If Microsoft disabled our games and sims I'd fly straight to Linux and never look back at that point.
I've talked to quite a few friends that still have a PC for gaming, and would do the same thing.

Hahaha, I just noticed this Topic and tried to read the Tweaktown article .... and they detected my AdBlock and won't let me view their article! Because I block the ads they make money with by displaying them? And they cry "foul" ? about MS' tactics? Bite me. !*not-ok*!

I have Adblock Plus and it doesn't stop the ads on that site.

Why on earth would Microsoft disable their own, and other Customer's products, on Steam, without about 15 MILLION folks currently getting very ticked off about it. Steam last year had 125 MILLION registered accounts, Billion, nay, TRILLION Dollar Lawsuits, and grossly negative PR would backfire spectacularly and financially wipe them out of existence in a few years, it just won't happen.
