That would be nice. I don't like playing FPS's on consoles.

This could actually help the X1 if handled right. Release the MCC on PC 6-8 months after it comes out on the X1 (so it won't hurt the console sales) and you could get a number of PC gamers really into Halo. These PC gamers would then buy an X1 for Halo 5 (or just whine).

Bets:

1. If the Wii U sells closer to 10 million LTD by 1/3/2015 I win. If it sells closer to 9.5 million LTD by 1/3/2015 OfficerRaichu15 wins (winner gets 2 weeks of avatar control)--Lost.

PC was always an afterthought, which is why I pointed out that all their games have been ports. Yes, even Halo and Gears were ports, but at least they were AAA ports. For the most part, PC gamers get no love from Microsoft, other than a bone they toss our way every now and then.

Outside Halo and Gears, what possibly AAA port would you want? Because Microsoft Studios has published a lot of games for PC and Steam, just not Halo and Gears, which are Xbox's two main AAA titles right now. Saying that they don't support PC just because they don't port those two games is ridiculous.

You would be happy if they put Forza on PC? Apparently you're not happy with Fable.

*scoffs*

Am I happy with Fable being the only AAA port Microsoft can offer now? Hell no! Microsoft can publish as many mediocre titles as they want, PC gamers won't care, because almost none of them are interesting, and Microsoft knows it. They save the heavy-hitters for their home console to sell it.

Is that wrong? No. But lets not pretend Microsoft has been looking out for the PC gamers. Their back and forth war with Steam shows how much tension they have with PC gaming cannibalizing their Xbox sales.

But I digress. Your idea of support is different from mine.

You're Gonna Carry That Weight.

Your point? All of them published by Microsoft Game Studios for PC in the last 2 years, it doesn't matter if they are mediocre or great. Alan Wake is old? So are Halo 1 - 3, and even Halo 4 is 2 years old in November.

Which 360 exclusives aren't old or "mediocre at best" at this point? The most great 360 exclusives are old, the most newer 360 exclusives aren't that great.

My point is that PC is an afterthought at best for Microsoft. They don't make games for PC, they port them from 360 or the One. Even Sony gives more support to PC with games like Planetside 2.

A couple of mediocre games change nothing. The heavy-hitting titles are kept exclusive for Xbox, but it wasn't always that way. There was a time where you could purchase Halo and Gears of War on PC. That time has passed.

But what's different with porting a Halo 1 - 4 Collection to PC? They would be an afterthought, too. The newest of them is now almost 21 months old.

Alan Wake PC was also released 21 months after the 360-version.
