| RJ_Sizzle said: Oh no. it's great that MS is putting their games on PC. It's just, is it great for Xbox One? I mean, in the end, the message is "you don't need our box to play our games". The only downside is they still haven't made 360 b/c available for Win 10. The upside, starting with no Live needed to play, is, well, everything else. |
I think this is the main point. It really makes arguing in favor of people getting XBO pretty pointless. Like the only thing that is coming out that I'm interested in is Cuphead. But, with it on PC I can just bypass getting a XBO. So, it's good for me, but it does hurt those who got a XBO in the 1st year or 2. I bet had many gamers had known that the XBO has no exclusives anymore, a large minority would have not have bought one.
In the end, it just illustrates MS shifting away from Xbox, and trying to focus more on their gaming efforts on PC. Unfortunately, it also seems to point to them taking fewer risks from now on, what with the yearly or bi-yearly releases of their big franchises. We can also see from this year's E3, they are focusing on a few timed exclusives from indie devs, instead of the big AAA titles from last gen and the 1st year or so of this gen.
