... well at least for now as Kotaku says on their report. What do you think about that MS tribe?

Personally, I think this is a good move for MS. I know it's kinda restricting but it's one way to push your own products. Actually I think this is the right freaking time to do it. :)

Look, I want to be excited about this, but until the people making the game say it's coming to iOS and Android (they're not saying one way or the other, sticking to just what they've announced), it's kind of hard to be.

... Says the Kotaku author who obviously doesn't have Windows 8 or Windows Phone 8 (or probably hates both platforms). Well, I would say the same thing for all iOS and Android exclusives too.

The comments on the article are entirely negative, and kinda close-minded if you ask me.

Can you guys hear all these potential customers? Me neither. - mrClint

I don't know what this guy is smoking but I think a hundred million Windows 8 users' doesn't agree with him.

I'm going to stop ranting. Voice out your opinions on the comments below.
