Gabe is in a different position though. Steam has been doing very well even without Call of Duty, so clearly there's not that much threat against Steam even if Call of Duty strayed away from Steam again. Additionally, Microsoft has demonstrated its willingness to put its games on Steam for years now, probably because that's where the money's at on PC. That is, Gabe has good reason to believe that Microsoft is actually interested in releasing its games on Steam, and even if they weren't, Steam would still do just fine. He can definitely afford to be trusting. In the console market however, the belief seems to be that exclusives matter a lot, and I'm sure both Microsoft and Sony are looking further than just the next ten years.

I pretty much agree to all this.

I would like nothing more than if they were no exclusive at all and console from manufacturer only represented what they view as the best way to play their titles.

There's precedent to that in the movie industry. Were movie company only released movie in their own theater before being force by the governement to divest their theater so every movie could be seen in any theater. Would like noting more than this hapening in the gaming industry as well. 

I have been saying this for years. And the biggest people against me saying it have always been some Sony fans. at the time i used to point out how the biggest selling games where multi plats such as Fifa and Cod etc and thats what people where buying consoles for. And they would be like "no they buy them for the exclusives and the multi plats come next" well thanks to this gen i been proving right both by Ms releasing all their games on PC day and date and still having the fastest selling xbox ever and by Sony and some of their fans saying how CoD going to Ms would ruin them as its their biggest game.

I mean why do people buy a Sony Blu ray player over another companys or a TV? its what they put in the hardware!. If it was like that with consoles we would be getting great deals on consoles with more features and them all trying to out do eachother!.
