It may be silly to suggest, but maybe Microsoft are making the wrong decision by bringing their first party exclusives to both XBO and PC, since they're sort of stealing their own userbase, why would somebody buy an XBO for Sea of Thieves or Forza 7, when they already have a PC. Obviously not all PC's are capable of running these games, and not everyone with a PC uses it for gaming, but there's always going to be people who would rather buy the game on their PC, or even pay to upgrade their system to be able to run a game, rather than buy the console it belongs to in order to play it. tl;dr I think PC and console games made by first party developers should be kept separate. |
I've seen this popping up ever since MS decided to take another crack at getting back in PC gaming's graces. What would MS have to do to pander to both markets that it has it's hands in?.
it's clear that MS has zero intentions of spending millions upon millions to create new studios to craft games that remain exclusive to Xbox and never touch PC in a million years, while also doing the exact same for PC, wehre those games never touch Xbox. To them that goes against the whole "play anywhere" ideal, it would also require more money, time and effort and with the way things have been going for them I don't think they are in for a 5-10 year wait period to see if that split idea bear fruit.
Also how are PC games to be kept separate from consoels when all PC games are third party?. PC has no first party studio because no one owns an open platform like it. Valve makes their own games, same with Blizz, bethesda, EA, Ubisoft etc, all of them have their own stores and clients on PC but none of them are first party.
The other thing to consider is that not eevryone wants to game on PC, just like how not everyone wants to game on a console either. People want multiple options rather than a singular one.
About that last part. What is MS to even begin to do with PC if all it makes are first party games for Xbox and they are to be kept on the console?.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
