There are console exclusives out there and I know Microsoft makes money off the Windows live service but does Microsoft make money off the software being purchased?
Games like...
Mass Effect 1 and 2
Gears of War 1
Left for Dead 1 and 2
Shadow Run
Prey
etc etc
Games that are exclusive both on Xbox 360 and PC.Does Microsoft make money off PC games that are console exclusives?
NODoes Microsoft make money off PC games that are console exclusives?
I don't believe so no. Windows is an open platform (not to be confused with open source- they allow anyone to program for their OS), I could write a game for windows right now and Microsoft would not be entitled to a penny. If you think about the amount of amateur games out there, software etc. - Microsoft don't get royalties since Windows is 'open'.
