But you play on console because you prefer to play on console, not because of the hardware specific exclusives. These games will remain exclusive to XBox, but MS is growing that community to be larger than anything Sony or Nintendo can match. You will not be able to play them on Steam, or Playstation or Nintendo. And the XBox gaming brand has consisted of Console+PC+Smartphone+Tablet for several years now, so this is just the next natural step.

Microsoft already said they are going to support Steam, so yes, pc gamers will be able to play these games on that platform. And of course without paying for Xbox Live.

Where did you read that?

EDIT: I looked at planned releases for Windows on XBox.com (for example Fable, Gears, Gigantic, Killer instinct) and they specifically target Windows10, meaning they will only sell on the Windows store for the XBox app.

I don't really think they are going to ignore the majority of pc gamers by ditching Steam, but we'll see.
