Umm.. Microsoft doesn't own any rights to Gears other then Epic is allowing them to publish their titles. And what did Microsoft put in? Advertising like any publisher is supposed to do? Epic really doesn't totally care as that isn't their style. There is nothing at all stopping them bringing the games to the PS3 or PC after Gears 3 is released. Microsoft is basically renting the rights to publish the game, mostly because they know that an exclusive title brings purchasers for their console.
This is how Epic Games has worked for years. They rent the publishing rights to a game or set of games till the completion of the publishing contract. Afterward all games are free to be published by someone else. This is why UT99 - 2004 which were all published by Atari, were re-released as the UT Anthology by Midway with Unreal 3. The same will happen with Gears of War as it is exactly how Epic Games does their business. Gears of War = really long timed exclusive.

CliffyB doesn't own Epic Games, he is just an outspoken lead developer like David Jaffe. Mark Rein, Tim Sweeney, and Mike Capps run the company.
