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.

You're talking about them supporting PC, although they don't have to, even if they state it.

MS is not gonna dump everything in PC because some people that don't wanna buy Xbox want that title.

The above mentioned titles are or will be on PC in the near future. That's more than what Take Two, EA, Ubisoft, Nintendo and Sony do.

If people want Halo buy X1, if they don't want to buy it, they don't want Halo that bad.

It doesn't make any business sense whatsoever to put Halo on PC.

 

It makes fine sense. It's extra cash. The Master Collection is not gonna cause the fanbase to die off on X1, if it came to PC. PC would never get Halo 5 for many years. It just gets people who won't buy the system, for one game. Halo is the only game I would buy on a Xbox. But $400 for playing Halo isn't worth it. If I bought all the Halo's over the years. I'd waste $900 on hardware to play 7 games.
