I think they deserve both. Play Anywhere is a fantastic service, and while you are still limited to MS's direct ecosystem (X1 + W10 store), that's still a significant expansion of choice. What sucks though is that shift towards more choice of platforms has coincided with a drop in choice of stuff to actually play. The two might not directly be correlated, and it's possible we're just seeing a scheduling slump from old decisions, but as it stands i rarely find myself actually wanting or even needing to use Play Anywhere. It's been 9 months since i last played a new AAA MS game, and the earliest next option for me (Crackdown 3 being good) would put that time at 13 months. If it's not, then i'll be waiting on games i don't even have a firm release date for yet.
