MS is a highly successful company with a lot of financial resources and it will do whatever is necessary to compete in the gaming industry both PC and consoles.

Paying developers for game exclusives is legitimate and is within the law. Imagine if they spent no money and did nothing? They would soon go out of business. MS does help some struggling developers by offering incentives along with interest free loans to assist developers in need of cash flow.

 

They weren't paying for exclusives.
