back in the early days of games for windows live MS tried a few cross platform experiments, Lost Planet, BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger, Uno and Shadowrun being the only games I know of. Apparently the PC players dominated so much they abandoned the scheme.

So is it that MS just doesnt allow it no more or that Developers just wont do it??.

They definately don't encourage it and the fact that the PC version has to be GFWL limits the feild, I don't think they forbid it tho. BlazBlue was released 2010 on PC making it the most recent example.

Also both versions of the game have to be the same, and considering the limitations on patches and such on GFWL that hamstrings, the PC version.
