I don't think I was discussing Play Anywhere in my opening post...

"Having exclusives just for the sake of having them doesn't count for much with gamers."

So what's so wrong with what would have been an exclusive X1 title being ported to PC?

"pc gamers won't touch the games on win 10 because they can't be modded?"

Just because a game can't be modded on Win 10 (which doesn't seem to be true according to https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/3itpdt/so_ive_heard_you_cant_mod_games_on_windows_10/ ) doesn't mean pc players won't give it some play time.

"Who really cares if X1 games are playable on win 10 or not."

Win 10 gamers.

Win 10 gamers.

Don't you mean steam/pc gamers? Also they wouldn't care about a redundant inferior service that's more anti-consumer than what they use already. 

No, I meant Win 10 gamers. You asked "Who really cares if X1 games are playable on win 10 or not" (I'm assuming this was a question despite not having a '?' at the end) and I answered the obvious answer: Win 10 gamers.

It devalues the xbox console. Pretty basic stuff.

But the games in question don't then become unplayable on XBox 1 just because they've been ported to PC. What value is being lost?

i doubt that the majority of or even some pc gamers will bother with it. There's no point in investing in something that doesn't have as many features as a service compared to an overall better service that's the established method for pc gamers to play (steam). 

Nice additional option to have regardless.

Here's to Microsoft becoming more competitive against Steam in the near future.

So I should be praising them for selling me a product that makes me question why I didn't just buy a gaming PC?

Yeah. Should help make the decision to whether or not to buy an X1 easier.
