Are Xbox Titles on PC Hurting or Helping?
By:MacGyver10

: Available on Steam (with Windows 7 support) as well! Though Steam players
: will not be able to play with W10 players.

So this brings up a question I've been having since the introduction of 'Play Anywhere' titles and Xbox's campaign to broaden their platform past just the consoles: is it a good thing or bad thing in your mind that Xbox titles are available on both the console and PC?

I for one, LOVE the expansion of Xbox to a service across devices (more mobile in the future, too?) and the idea of playing a Halo: Spartan Strike-style game on my home console, pausing it and switching to Netflix for my wife, picking it up on my PC from the point I left off and continuing, and then even pausing it there and picking it up right where I left off on my smartphone on the front porch. I've seen many out there complain that this "ruins the Xbox" for "not having any exclusives" if they're available on PC too. Is that a problem? Do we need to switch our thinking to Xbox as a service or platform instead of a console?
