If I had a conspiracy theory about what went down, it's this:
1) Microsoft was originally intending this to be an Xbox One exclusive first with a PC version down the line. They were expecting that it would be such a must-play game that the PC version would sell a ton.
2) They got internal reviews which were significantly lower than they had hoped.
3) They rushed out a PC port to capitalize on pre-orders and early purchases and early hype for the game.
