Its a great thing for people who game on Windows and has no real impact on Xbox. Furthermore, I believe MS feels pressure to put games on Windows with SteamOS being a potential competitor. |
I can say with 99% certantity that Gaming is not a significant factor in the sale of MS's OSes.
If its just DR3, it probably won't matter, if they do it with more games it will have an impact on Xbox, because its exclusive library will shrink, since PS4 has the multiplat advantage, XB1's exclusive library is of paramount importance.
Hell, DR3 is being sold on Steam, GFWL is dead, Fable 3 was the last game I played on it
Its not positive at all, Steam gets the distribution money, and those sales reduce how many copies MS sells, "Gaming" on Windows basically has nothing to do with Xbox, and little to do with Microsoft, the OS is about as involved as VGChartz is with the Ads on the site.
I doubt MS is even purposely doing this, which means that MS is not spending enough on complete exclusivity.
