I don't think anyone is going to seriously say that Microsoft moving Xbox over to PC is because they're suddenly "pro-consumer", not unless they're trying to play the 'console warz' game. They're doing it purely because they want to make more money.

Otherwise, their games wouldn't be Windows 10 exclusives and they would be publishing on Steam, Linux, Apple, and Playstation. That would be "pro-consumer", not trying to force people into an upgrade and into a terrible UWP framework.

But didn't you know? "Pro-consumer" is actually just a buzzword PC gamers use. If they can play it, then it's pro-consumer; if they can't, it's Anti-consumer 

Not really, at least not in this case.  Those calling Microsoft "pro-consumer" over this are generally Xbox fans looking for a new weapon to replace an exclusives list.  Many PC gamers know better because Microsoft is still doing the "exclusive" thing with Windows 10, UWP, and their own Store.  They're pushing an agenda really freaking hard.
