This feels like really significant news. Any idea what the nefarious reason for Valve doing this might be?
European Union privacy regulation? The timing lines up (it goes into effect next month)
Hmmm, interesting. My first thought was that this was related to some kind of corporate tax avoidance (re: Steam Spy’s ability to give estimates on sales and thus Valve’s cut).
Yes, this is very likely the reason.
Hell Yes!

oh huh, I missed that completely. The original was legally confiscated in Germany until last November and it seems the only one available on Steam here is 4, but there’s probably workarounds. I technically broke the law when I bought my 360 copy from UK Ebay.
but yeah, looking at my 360 collection, the only thing that hasn’t been ported is Ace Combat 6 (which isn’t that great of an AC anyway), Too Human (lol) and Over-G Fighters (which is probably bad too. I think I’ll play that on my CRT and then get rid of the whole shebang.
edit: Akai Katana too! I expected that to be on Steam already.
Akai Katana
NinNinJump
Ginga Force
Mushihime Futari
Radiant Silvergun
Guardian Heroes
360 Bangai-o
Lost Odyssey (lol)
Blue Dragon (lol)
DoDonPachi SaidaiOuJou
And Banjo but lolyeah.
Would be pretty awesome for Treasure and Cave to throw the rest of those up on PC. Really afraid the Cave PC numbers were too low. I bought all on release except DDPDFK because that is my least liked DDP. I just expect Ginga Force to be on there some day.
I’d be totally down for Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon on PC. I need to finish them but don’t feel like dragging the 360 out.

All backwards compatible on the Xbone btw (and rumoured eventually Windows 10 PCs?) in case you ever end up getting one of those.
how rumoured is this? I’d love it if microsoft finally provided a usable emulator after all this time
yeah i hear this frequently and am wondering the same
I think only as rumoured as looking at Microsoft’s future strategy of having all Xbone releases be simultaneous with the Windows store versions and thinking that it makes sense. They kind of already did it with Phantom Dust?
Isn’t Microsoft’s backwards compatibility all on a game-by-game basis though? Like, I’m sure there’s some core emulation stuff they’re doing but isn’t it super-tweaked this way and that depending on what game is being emulated?
That is the case. They’re essentially custom-building an emulator for every individual game, from what I’ve heard
