Expert claims that Vista break casual games available on the web

Alex St. John is the chief executive of game network WildTangent and happens to be a former Microsoft developer. He claims that the company’s latest operating system release Vista is breaking several casual games which are available on the web for download.

He claims that some of the MSN’s own downloadable games are unplayable on Vista due to extra layers of security added in the operating system.

John said in a statement: “Microsoft has gone overboard in making Vista so secure that the restrictions have broken most online games.”

He further said that Microsoft is making a mistake by relying heavily on the Electronic Software Ratings Board ratings to block access to games based on parental control feature.

He claims: “Parents who choose to use Vista’s parental controls are likely to accidentally block access to hundreds of very popular family friendly games that happen not to have ESRB ratings.”
