    Also when have THQ made 'triple A games'? It will probably be filled with Smackdown: Here comes the sequel! :D

    I just don't understand the situation. I honestly don't get it.


    Like, they're going to make Dawn of War available? But...you can already play that on PC.

    Seriously, someone help me understand what the fuck they're doing?

    this sounds like Steam with a full screen interface so you can pretend you are using something like the Xbox Dashboard, rather than a PC.

    Because clicking on a desktop icon can be pretty challenging for your average PC user :rolleyes:

    Until it comes shipped on crap PCs with sub-par hardware that won't handle the games they're pimping on it. Then it'll be an epic failure.
