No matter what I do, it will offer up some version of hatred from certain forum members. If I say Microsoft Platform exclusive, some ass is going to come in here to bitch at me saying you can make a workaround in Linux to play their PC games so it doesn't count. They have an argument for EVERYTHING. I decided I will do what should be done. I will listen to members that treat this topic with some measure of respect. Anyone that comes in to do nothing but bash this list will not have a say on any changes that could be made to it. This goes for any of the other lists forum members have worked their asses off to create. These are topics that have taken countless hours out of our posting time and we deserve to have these topics peaceful and productive, since locking these threads are not really an option.

Well I would say that MS makes no money off of PC games via licensing fees like they do with 360 games, so calling it MS exclusive wouldn't make any sense, as it's not really helping MS. :P
Unless you count additional sales of their OS, but 1. why single out the OS and not other PC components, and 2. most people would be buying the OS anyway, even if they didn't play games.
PC exclusives help sell GPUs, RAM, CPUs, etc. far more than OSes. Most people just reuse an old copy of Windows that they have lying around when building a new PC.
Sorry for derailing this thread even further, but I couldn't help myself. The notion that MS = PC gaming has always bugged me to no end. >_>
