Ori was presented as “Xbox One & Windows 10 Exclusive,” so probably no Steam version sadly. Too bad for the devs, I really liked the first one but no way I’m buying this if that’s the case.
To be fair, that’s how Cuphead got announced at E3 and even then the devs just announced it’s coming to Steam on their Twitter so chances are this one will too.
Ya, but we’ve known Cuphead’s coming to Steam for some time. Exclusives are one of the few times I how to hear sweet, sweet lies at E3.
There is a big difference.
Cuphead is created by independent developer
Ori is created by internal MS first party studio
After creating Windows 10 MS never released a single own game on third party store like Stean, Origin, Uplay. All games created by internal MS developers are released only in Windows Store
“Ori is created by internal MS first party studio”
No.
Well, the first entry did make it to Steam in the end, even though that one also started off as an Xbox One exclusive, so I wouldn’t abandon all hope just yet.
Microsoft doesn’t seem to own the IP, so it’s quite possible that the developers successfully negotiated a timed exclusive agreement, rather than an all-out exclusivity deal – especially considering how popular this game is on Steam;
SteamSpy: Ori – Owners: 921,299 ± 28,902, Ori Definitive – Owners: 379,400 ± 18,560
“Microsoft doesn’t seem to own the IP”
LOL. Zatara this is a Microsoft internal developer – first party MS Studio. This game and Studio is internal part of Microsoft. First game was released on Steam only because there wasn’t any other option on PC – that was before Windows 10 and UWP. Windows 8 Store doesn’t support AAA games

It’s right there in the picture, mate, first line;
“Moon Studios is an independent video game development studio”
Also;
“In 2011, Moon Studios signed a development and distribution deal with Microsoft Game Studios for Ori and the Blind Forest, and became a Microsoft third-party developer.”
“Moon Studios GmbH”
“Type
Private”
“While the game is published by Microsoft Game Studios, the team remains wholly independent. If anything, the relationship has given them many of the benefits of a first party development while being able to maintain their unique structure, one seemingly poorly fit with the typical first party system. Describing the relationship on Reddit, Ori Programmer Willem Vos noted: “One of the cool things about Microsoft being involved in the process of building the game, was that they have an experienced and outsider vision.””

LOL … but NO. Go to website of Moon studios. Now this is a first party MS internal studio. We have 2017 not 2015 🙂
Like I said, it’s all in the image you yourself linked;

LOL… read to the end – now this is a first party studio 🙂
But you can wait for ORI, Forza or Gears on Steam… Keep waiting 🙂

I don’t give a f*ck about Gears, & I couldn’t care less about Forza in the face of the ridiculous amount of other racing IPs that already exist on Steam, but you already know that, as we went over this repeatedly last year.
As for Ori; Moon Studios is still registered as Moon Studios GmbH. GmbH is what the Germans use in place of Ltd. in order to indicate privately owned companies. If they were no longer privately owned (ergo if they were now owned by Microsoft), then they’d no longer be a GmbH/Ltd.
At best, Microsoft MIGHT own the Ori IP which is why they call themselves first party developers on their website bio, but there’s no indication of that, as I doubt Microsoft would have let Ori leave the Xbox & go onto Steam if they could have ever avoided it in the first place. Either way, they don’t own Moon Studios themselves.
Come on at least let Ori have a steam release you stupid Microsoft.
NO. This game is created by internal Microsoft Studio like Forza, Halo or Gears. First game was released on Steam only because there wasn’t any other option on PC – that was before Windows 10 and UWP. Old Windows 8 Store doesn’t support AAA games. Now MS doesn’t use Steam for own first party games

Is it just me or Super Lucky’s Tale is somehow reminiscent of mobile games? It looks like a knockoff of some bigger title. Characters try to convey happiness but they fail because of lackluster animations.
