I can't really say I'm surprised, this is Microsoft's M.O. lately. First they tell us that PC is still important to them, and then that's pretty much the cue to release games only for the consoles.

Yeah, despite that they released most of their Arcade IPs on Steam, released Dead Rising, Fable Anniversary, Max: TCB, etc... just in 2014.

Fable Anniversary isn't out yet for PC, it's been out since February on console, Dead Rising is an Xbox Exclusive, I think you meant DR3.  Haven't checked out Max TCB, however, I don't think you can even remotely argue that the aforementioned titles...combined, compare to how popular Halo is.  Yes, releasing games that probably won't sell gangbusters on console on PC as well makes great business sense.  What business sense does not releasing a collection as big as Halo MCC on PC make, if not to funnel everyone to console?

You also kinda need to look at it from the perspective of the state of GFWL, which is laughable.  It's not just one thing, at least, not for me anyway.  There's a number of things that annoy me there.
