Gears Of War was made by Epic Games.

But without Microsoft it would have never been published or put on consoles.

Epic actually went to Sony first (or I think offered Sony an exclusive - something like that) and Sony denied them.

Gears Of War was in development for years, it was actually called Unreal Warfare back then during early development. The only reason it was exclusive to 360 was because Microsoft payed for it. It's as simple as that. If Microsoft didn't publish it, someone else would have on consoles.

Epic Games doesn't owe Microsoft for the success of the franchise. If you really think it wouldn't have been on consoles without Microsoft you.....I don't know. You're just wrong. Did you know that even Halo started off as a PC/Mac game before Microsoft bought the IP to put on the OG Xbox? 

I'm not 100% sure but wasn't Halo going to be like a RTS game before M$ stepped in?
