    1. oh it will, microsoft is just stubborn
      just like with GFWL this will be another relic of the past

      it’s just sad that customers who bought the UMP version (stupid of them i know)
      can’t play with the steam version of the game

      so multiplayer takes a while to find a match, but it’s still alive and kicking

      1. PCgamer is a shill site full of SJW admins and sell-out articles
        they gave andromeda a whopping 8.0!
        not to mention they keep giving the new CoD constant coverage, DSOgaming is our last bastion of free speech

          1. i got banned twice
            once it was for calling them a ubidrone shills
            the second, “racism” because they kept up with the SJW anti-trump articles and i said whoever wrote this is probably a corrupt hillary voter which is pro islam (granted the author was indeed a $hit-skin sand N(gger)

            so yeah the “PC” in gamer has been corrupted, altered and now unreliable articles and reviews
            if it isn’t your standard BS reviews, and or nonstop amazon “deals” or other shillings, it’s political propaganda and the site has went to ruin
            (and actually i do recall some extreme microsoft shilling and windows 10)

        1. Yes really. This mod changes the amount of characters in the game and tweaks the camera. All of those things have to do with the game itself. My question still stands: How is this in anyway whatsoever related to UWP?

          1. He probably thinks the UWP version can’t be modded, but it can. It’s a pain modding UWP games though, if they even support it.

          2. But I mean, isn’t this article proof that it can be modded even without support?

          3. Well there you go. This has nothing to do with UWP and everything to do with the game itself.

          4. Though it does feed into the greater discussion of UWP & its chilling effects on certain types of mods, even if only indirectly.

          5. Again, this mod has absolutely nothing to do with UWP, so how did UWP come into the discussion in the first place?

          6. I’m pretty sure that is an affirming the consequent fallacy. Plenty of non UWP games offer no mod support or actively try to stop it (Rockstar). Unless you can prove that UWP is somehow even worse with mods that those examples, it’s not really fair to blame UWP for modding difficulties.

  1. It’s pretty crazy how active the Halo modding community is. Halo 1’s PC port is still getting tons of mods to this day.
