Why is Microsoft killing off PC gaming?

Halo... I could not give a shit...
But Fable II and Gears definitely should be on PC =/ they are like the only games that keep the X360 to have extra >'s on my sig.

 

Gears of War is. Gears of War 2 is not. But this is not Microsoft's decision, It is Epic Game's decision to release a PC version in the future.

Fable is. Fable 2 might be released in the future.

Halo 1 + 2 are. Halo 3 will probably be out after the first DX11 GPUs are released.

Fable 2 will not be released to PC and neither will Halo 3. Their predecessors sold horribly on PC, not to mention the fact that last gen it hurt the sales of Xbox consoles. PC gamers just want a free ride, when they should know full well, Microsoft wants to make the 360 as profitable as possible. Buy a 360 if you want the games Microsoft is no longer allowing on PC. As for Gears of War, it's obvious that since Microsoft published Gears of War on the 360 and PC that they do have a choice in the matter. Did someone omit their contract for exclusivity with Epic? They decided not to publish Gears 2 for PC, because Xbox 360 games need to stay there. Gears 3 is a whole other ball game, because Microsoft will need to update their contract with Epic or buy the IP of that franchise. That game is a huge risk.
