Games for Windows rep "tweets" on Activision CEO comments

On Monday we reported that in a Financial Times chat with Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick, he revealed his support for having more PC gaming rigs set up to be played on big screen TVs. This promotion of PC gaming apparently, for whatever reason, caused an official rep from Microsoft's Games For Windows division to get up on the wrong side of the bed.

In a post on the official "WindowsGamer" Twitter page the rep, known as "Walker ^WA", posted up a note saying, "Acti supports PC gaming? Is it April already?" We are assuming "April" is in reference to April Fools Day. In any case, it seems a bit odd that a Games For Windows rep would be critical of any promotion of PC gaming which in theory Microsoft should be supporting. And Activision Blizzard just happens to be home to perhaps the biggest PC game in the world (World of Warcraft) with StarCraft II waiting for its release later this month. It has also released quite a number of other PC games in recent years including two last month (Transformers War For Cybertron and Singularity) Microsoft, on the other hand, hasn't published a retail PC game since Gears of War in December 2007 (although Fable III is due for the PC in October).
