A few days ago we relayed in our columns that the developer Valve, known for its video games and download platform Steam, was not at all favorable to the arrival of Windows 8 on October 26th. Gabe Newell, CEO of the studio, even said that this is a "catastrophe for the PC market."
The closed architecture over the next Microsoft OS is concerned, since applications will be offered via Windows Store, but also the Xbox Live that will be built. Also, the presence of Steam will be less relevant.
Now, this is another major player in PC gaming that occurs against Windows 8, namely Blizzard. Company behind the popular World of Warcraft, Diablo III and StarCraft II stressed that this operating system "not great either for Blizzard."
These words are explained clearly by the same reasons as for Valve, especially since Blizzard also has its online platform, Battle.net. Remains to be seen if Blizzard and Valve Windows 8 boycott or not.
