what i prefer is honest communication.
i don't care if something comes to PC. i don't care if something is timed exclusive. what i mind is flat out lying to say you have to buy the xbox platform in order to play a game only to find out six months later that isn't true.
"Definitely not a timed exclusive, it's an Xbox One game," said rep briefly detailed. "We see a lot of this online. It's not coming to PS4 or PC."

A high end PC gamer and a console gamer are different markets/consumers. A cross PC/Xbox1 or PS4 gen game probably doesn't have too much effect on each other. Only small niche has a console and a high end PC. Personlly, I usually play multiplayer games on consoles and single player games on PC. Most of my friends (that I actually hang out with) are on consoles. Most PC gamers probably has never met each other in real life other than online..... |
Most of me IRL freinds (who are gamers) are PC gamers and most of the PC gamers I know IRL also own consoles.

So soon? The game is not even a year old yet. The X1 can't afford for things like this to happen because it'll mean even less games and features for the console to differentiate itself from the PS4.

I don't see why a PC port would hurt Xbox1 sales (hardware or software), and this port is coming out late (and it is no longer in the top 75 weekly sales and i'm guessing it is selling less than 10k weekly).

That's a naive way at looking at the industry. In reality, overlap is in the majority, and PC gamers who already have machines that outspec this generation, which is not a small niche at all, typically buy consoles solely because of exclusives. If something is on PC, let alone steam, then that is one less reason to buy to console. That is why it hurts sales, it might not be directly measurable, but we know it will have an effect.
The greater issue is that this doesn't become a regular thing, which is why the QB rumor is troubling.

Dead Rising 3 was one of the reasons I wanted to get a X1 in the near future! Oh well..

That is probably the biggest risk, if Xbox exclusives get the stigma of only being timed exclusives, ofc its gonna have to happen a lot more times for that to happen.

If you own a high end PC, you're a PC gamer, regardless of whether if you own a console. Most consoles gamers don't own a gaming PC. As an analogy, I'm sure most console or PC gamers also have a smartphone/tablet/iPad and play casual games on those platforms, but I'm sure the console/PC people don't call themselves iPad/android/mobile casual gamers. However, there are lots of people (1 billion people that downloaded Temple Run or the millions that download flappy bird) that are casual gamers, but don't own a console/PC. Casual gamers and video gamers are not the same market. PC gamers and console gamers are not the same market. Similarly, there were many casual/family (Mom and Pops) gamers that bought a Wii, but won't buy a Wii U. Not the same market.
