Yup. But before, that VideoGamer.com review had homies like "I KNEW IT. The game sucks"
You can always tell who the hypocrites are when things like this happen

Something like that would make sense for Microsoft, only it two conditions were met:
1) It would only apply to digital.
2) Any "Cross-buy" games would have to be exclusive to the Xbox Store.
This type of setup would allow Microsoft to push its digital games initiative, as it would provide an incentive for console owners to purchase the digital version rather than the disc version.
The second point would ensure that MS didn't lose the royalty revenue from the sale.
Even if well implemented, it would still be a difficult sell due to the poor launch and overall maintenance of the GFWL store (and its subsequent failure). The target consumer remembers that sort of thing.
Details would also have to be worked out with publishers, in terms of sales credit for the "free" game license. And it likely wouldn't work in reverse (from PC -> XBO) if you bought from a 3rd party reseller.
I'm not saying it's a slam dunk, but the framework (and business incentive) are there for MS to as least investigate.
But how could you know that? Let's assume there was never another console after the PS1 but gaming kept growing on PC, those gamers wouldn't take an interest in PC as a way to game, ever? Thus of course growing a market for higher budget titles like there are that come from console audiences now.
I'm just saying, it really doesn't matter what platform it is. If there's customers, there's money.
Whoever mentioned Windows 10 is right on target. The PC is also a Microsoft platform and MS wants to improve gaming support on the PC as well as Xbox and Windows phone.
I would be shocked if SO didn't make it to the PC eventually. But it will be after sales of the game on Xbox have stagnated... 6-12 months later.

My experience with all the denials of games going to PC or PlayStation over this generation and last generation is not to believe anything they comes out of the mouth of someone who signs on the dotted line. They can deny it all they want but I do expect a PC version and to a lesser extent a PS4 version down the line.
We have plenty of examples of this happening three this generation already and at least 15 last generation.
They need to prove it without a shadow of doubt it will never come to PC by publishing the contract for all of us to see. Then I will believe them.

Shit, Nintendo have been victims to this for years. Everyone wants them to go third party because no one wants to own their console.
Exactly.

It doesn't matter what platform SO comes to, MS will get money off of every single copy sold. Just like they make money off the PC versions of Titanfall,Ryse,etc....
This is common game publishing knowledge.

This has been the norm since last gen actually.

Well obviously. Its more easy to get excited about a game when you aren't being forced to one platform. Especially when that platform is XO.
This isn't the point.
MS would rather people buy an X1 to get those install numbers up.
I doubt SO has that much sway anyway so it really doesn't matter.
A denial from the devs doesn't mean much, especially when MS is involved.
See the Ryse and Dead Rising3 points from the last couple pages.

Do you think my PC will be able to run it at 144fps (with HDAO and 3xMSAA)?

[Edit] Goddammit: edit for beat.
But yeah, Xbone exclusives have had a long and illustrious history of denying that they're getting a PC version, and then getting a PC version. Assume Sunset Overdrive is getting a PC port in the new year.

I'd hope so but let's get to the point of it actually coming to PC first, lol.
Why are you only responding to him, but not the 6 other people that gave you legit responses?
Confirmation bias to the max.
2015 is going to be nuts for co-op shooters. We already have Evolve and Killing Floor 2 coming early 2015, with a possible Division release later in the year. On top of SO and Destiny port rumors.
lol
I dispute that "all" heavily. Let's go through your list, shall we?
- GTA: a franchise which started on PC, and is now a Moloch infinitely consuming production values. I'll give you this one, in its current form.
- AC: you can have this one as well!
- CoD: originally already a successful PC franchise, and its core draw does not require massive budgets.
- Battlefield: same as above.
- Borderlands: it's basically a loot game, a genre which thrives on PC.
- Bioshock: a worse version of System Shock 2, which was a PC game.
- Mass Effect: these don't sell in numbers that would make me think the require the extended console base.
- Dragon Age: the first one of these was in development as a PC exclusive for the longest time. After the second one, built from the ground up as a multiplatform title, I think most agree that going back to the "shell" which was the first game would be better.
- Souls games: DS2 probably sold almost as well on PC as it did on PS3, and that's with a late port and 2 console versions available.
No.
There is no such thing as 3xMSAA

let me check official website for spec requirements.
Confirming it's a mistake doesn't confirm it's incorrect.
What's wrong with xbox one?
This game get shat on in almost every thread. All of a sudden, PC makes the game great and wanted.
I think that's good enough to emulate the X1. You should be fine after Microsoft gives the source code for the X1 after they shut down the Xbox division.

Nice, I'm pre-ordering now.
It is the point. At this time, there are no plans to make SO for the PC but as sales slow on XB1, it makes a lot of sense for MS to support one of their other platforms. It helps MS and the developers and doesn't hurt XB1 who had the game for many months by itself.

Maybe the traversal will be decent in that version lol rite guys
full xbone ui and dashboard on pc... Pay yearly fee and join Xbox live if U are not already on Xbox live... I think this could happen
Turn your pc into the entertainment box like xbone... All movie apps etc
I don't understand if MS is giving these companies the okay isn't that a good thing?
Because somehow PC makes the game great and interesting. Go check every other thread for this game, people talk shit about it just because its on X1.

Did you consider that people shitting on the game are not the same people wanting the game on PC? I know, shocking!

Surprise, after being shown devs denying previous XB1 exclusives would ever go multiplatform, people like yourself continue acting as if a denial means anything other then 'not right now'.

PC already has this...it's called Metro. And we don't have to pay a yearly fee for it. Last time MS tried to push a yearly fee to game on PC, it didn't go in their favor because EVERY OTHER GAMING SERVICE WAS FREE.
You can already do this on PC.
They didn't publish either of those. EA published TF on all platforms, Crytek self-published the digital PC version and Deep Sliver published the retail version.

Oh what? It's one of the worst for that price tag.
Even a 100 bucks Linux receiver has more multimedia features and apps.. And with an external hdd you can record all your favorite shows.
And this is just a small selection, there are hundreds of channels / portals you can add
I would buy a pc day one for this game

I love how the PC gamers are never banned for saying such things but when console gamers say things likes "I hope it doesn't come to PC", they get banned. Oh god, what a bias.

This is a calculated strategy by MS since we know they obviously have the money to keep these games exclusive but chose not to.
They just did it with Halo Spartan Assault. They did it with Super Time Force,Ori and the Blind Forest,etc... All games they funded that are getting PC releases.
Phil Spencer flat out said they're focusing on PC gaming:
PC gamers can expect to see tier-1 initiatives for PC gaming from Microsoft beginning this summer.

Two of those I'll give you. One of which may be able to steal some thunder since 343 stumbled and went "don't worry, it's 'kay. We got a classic 'remaster' on the way for you guys!" and the other may/may not break out depending on how Remedy does. The other two... system sellers... really? *tries to stifle laughter*
I mean I want to try Sunset Overdrive, but it's not making me want to buy an X-box 720, sorry.
Phantom Dust is, but that would work sooooo much better on PC/Steam if I could modify things to try out skills/etc.
Xbone games on pc? News to me
xbone is the best entertainment box out there imo... Pc in your living room would become a lot popular overnight
