Good idea. Now many Indies are actively avoiding the Xbox ONE due to this clause. Nice way to get yourself shafted.

Second best. Than why did MS cause the issue in the first place?

To protect their Interests, most likely, so no one can buy a timed exclusive deal on a game which also gets released on their console. Problem is, instead of timed exlusives for the other conoles or PC it means that the Xbox ONE is getting left out by some devs. Right now it's only Indies who do so but just imagine what happens when some publisher or developer decides to release his game only on PS4 and maybe PC (very possible on asian and possibly continental european developers, not so much by american or british ones) or even the WiiU (which is relatively popular with Indie devs) to circumvent that system altogether? Yeah, instead of getting the game later they just don't get it at all.
