Sony also pays publishers not to make games for Xbox. They pay for timed exclusives and exclusives. They did it on PS2 with GTA and they probably did it on PS1 to combat Nintendo. Paying developers for exclusives was going on before MS entered the console gaming realm.
I don't think MS cares to publish 3rd party games on PC. It seems to me they just don't want some games on Sony platforms.
I didn't say MS was getting money for every Xbox game that comes to PC (i.e. games they didn't publish). I'm saying they publish some Xbox games for PC. Ultimately, Xbox benefits from getting games not on Sony consoles and Windows continues its PC gaming dominance. Win win!

I still love how people use something 2 generations ago as a rebuttal. They did it with GTA? LMAO you must be joking right? They didn't do that with GTA, they just didn't release GTA on Xbox, but GTA did still come to Xbox.
LMAOOOOOOOOOOO, Windows continues its PC gaming dominace. Oh you are so funny, I laughed so hard when I read that. Sure whatever you say, somehow Steam winning = Windows winning. Sigh....people these days.
And AGAIN holy shit, you don't get it do you? PC gaming is growing and these PC gamers need reasons, ie exclusives to buy consoles. So tell me, if all these exclusives are coming to PC why should they buy a Xbox? It is actually hurting Xbox because these PC gamers who aren't stupid can tell Microsoft doesn't understand the word exclusive and they will choose PS4 over Xbox because there are more real exclusives on PS4 than XBO. Tell me, how many Microsoft published games on the 360 eventually came to the PC? TONS. How many Sony published PS3 games came to PC? 1, Joe Danger, a indie game. Sony knows what the word exclusive means, Microsoft doesn't.
I mean holy crap, if you actually read what I said, this conversation would have avoided.

Sony is buying exclusives and timed exclusives now. They've always done it, people just hate when MS does it.
The success of Steam has absolutely benefited Windows. Even MS supports Steam.
If PC gaming is growing then that's great for Windows. MS should continue to put games on PC to deter people from moving to other operating systems.
Sony has published numerous games for PC. They are generally online games. They didn't keep those on consoles because they want money from PC gamers (Windows gamers inparticular).
Personally, I like that MS allows games on PC. I'd like to see them continue putting Xbox games on PC.

Lmao, keep telling yourself Steam Winning = Windows Winning. This is one of thee most delusional comments I keep seeing.
Ok let me rephrase this, have you seen any Sony Computer Entertainment, not Sony Online Entertainment(that one that makes PC games) release their games to PC? No, only 1 that I know of and if they do they aren't AAA titles on the level of Gears, Halo, and Fable.
Of course you want MS to keep publishing games on PC, sounds like a defense mechanism from the fact that XBO has barely any real exclusives available.
