Maybe I should have said this, instead-

Microsoft has done more to damage PC gaming in recent years than any other company I can think of.

For context, i'm in my 40s and am a programmer who works exclusively with Microsoft programs (Visual Studio, SQL Server, Excel, Access, etc), simply because the ecosystem MS have created around Windows development is so pleasant to work with. Doesn't stop me acknowledging that their half-hearted and often insulting efforts towards PC gaming have been harmful to the platform though, and I doubt that could be sensibly refuted.

As Scoobes has pointed out, games are now generally multi-platform because of the rising cost of them. Exclusives are pretty rare on any system- why lose out on millions of extra potential customers?
