It seems that Microsoft may be becoming more open to releasing their games on other platforms

MS spent all that money on studios just to release the games on other platforms anyway lol.

If the studios are profitable, it was still a good business decision. A bad business decision would be to tank a profitable studio to prop up a struggling hardware platform.

Besides, exclusives are mostly bad for the players, so if companies decide that supporting multiple platforms is the best strategy for them, it's also better for us.

It is no issue for me. I like people getting to play good games.

Meaning they get money if those studios release a game that sells well on a rival console.
