In short, no they don't want to have to coexist on an open platform... even if they own that open platform... but hey. The thing that fasinates me the most is how they will handle online gameplay. So can you play Forza on the Xbox Live network... for free against paying Xbox gamers? Looking at the business model they aretrying to adopt... with this title apparently free to Play... will the transactions take the place of charging for live.
A few points though:
"yet these recent windows 10 only games actually require way more hw than most AAA games and these are at the end of the day console ports and not built only specifically for PC in mind at all which also debunks DX 12's supposed power usage into play"
I don't think these games are 'real' DX12 games though but I was certainly thinking the same thing.
"I honestly don't think they've learned much from the last time they tried their hand at PC gaming"
I have to disagree there. Look at what I said about the F2P model. Now, I'm not saying that its a good thing for gamers at all, but I see that their strategy has really changed.
Finally I will add that I think the DX12 push (with Vulkan poised to dethrown it) and the shift to PC 'support are all related. '
