So everything Phil Spencer said before? I have a hard time seeing that as anything but a lie - words in the lead up to holiday sales that were meant to move hardware. Not upset everyone gets to play it, but it was just one more thing to add to the pile of reducing the value of this hardware I purchased. I would have held off buying that to get it on my preferred platform had I known it was going to be such a short window.

I bought Rise of Tomb Raider on it since that was supposed to be a lengthy timed exclusive - it was on PC 2 months later. Then by Feb 2016 the 3 tentpole games that were too late in development to go PC? They are talking about coming to PC, and Quantum Break amazingly will launch simultaneously with the console version.

I at least felt that the hardware had *some* value for the already released exclusives and, bare minimum, these 3 heavy hitting exclusive titles. Going to those teams mid-cycle and saying: ‘Hey, by the way, I want to add a platform,’ didn’t really feel like necessarily the best way to end up with the best result for the game.'

'In the case of things like Scalebound or Crackdown or Quantum Break, you know, just to be completely honest with you, we started those games before we really looked at expanding into Windows in the way that I wanted to bring as part of becoming head of Xbox. Phil Spencer, in no uncertain terms, says: This annoys me as a recent purchaser, but the thing that really gets my goat is this article: Mere months after I buy it, MS begins their messaging about how Xbox is going to be more a brand that stretches across PC and console hardware. Great, I'll plop down $300 so I can play those games. This was when the wording was stronger - hardware exclusives are important, we will focus on Xbox games and deliver value there. Mid 2015 during a sale, I picked up the Xbox. It is pretty much the only reason I buy the hardware - for the games tied to it. While primarily a PC gamer, I also own all consoles so I can play their exclusives.

This game coming to PC just serves as a fresh reminder that Phil Spencer and MS had clear messaging in the middle/end of 2015 - when I bought my Xbox - that it was safe to buy an Xbox as a PC owner. It is just a very personal reason this frustrates me, which you can read more about below if you so care.Īpologies for the avalanche of incoming text! In fact, long term view, I'm happy with it as a primarily PC gamer since I won't have to buy Xbox hardware next gen. I know you can only go by what you see here, but the fact is I'm not a spoiled child - I truly don't mind the fact that the games can be played by more people on more platforms.
