This and D4 were my only reasons for wanting an XBO. Yes please.
the only other game I've been interested in is Sunset Overdrive but lucky for me my roommate has it.
I honestly think this is going to happen. You pretty much said what I told one of my friends a few days ago. (Xbox gamers would be able to play the PC version of Street Fighter V! Haha.)
Anyway, I'm positive this was done due to Street Fighter V being cross platform. More players = more online competition so this is good. Nice to see MS (seemingly) trying to put more into Killer Instinct after the Street Fighter deal.

they should also bring it to 360 to grow the community, would call for downgrade in particle effects though but it should happen.
The problem is you will never see ps4 games on pc.

I didnt like KI the hour or so I put into it, but as with most games, if it hits PC im willing to give it another go
I think that's the reason.
Another good idea as well

I was more talking in general with more games that are usually tied to consoles coming to PC. But for me, there are more Microsoft exclusives that I want on PC than Sony exclusives. Sony exclusives look mediocre in my mind so I don't feel like I'm missing much by them skipping PC.
You have a point on Nintendo though, which is why when the WiiU hits around $200, I'm going out and buying one right away.

This is a horrible post. Feel bad please.
And Sony doesn't? Why are Sony exclusives being lumped into this non-exclusivity trend from MS? Sony is just as prominent a developer as Nintendo. Laughable.
What? By buying their games, on another one of their platforms?

Yeh, seems like port begging is fair game these days.
Age of Empires on XB1 pls
Couldn't think of any other MS PC exclusive titles

This is great, even if it's late.
I'd love to see more of this from every platform holder. Unfortunately it doesn't seem likely.

Extrememly extremely rare a sony exclusive goes to pc.
It's looking that way -- at least in terms of being able to play every fighter.

Why not? It doesn't hurt anyone. It may hurt some dumb ass list war.
While I'm glad the franchise is back I simply don't have any time to play this over other games.
That said it would be a good idea to make it available on PC but it should have crossplay. Also MS should allow people to host their own games if they intend to charge money for games hosted on their servers with smaller subscription fee.

I'm skeptical of this sort of thing I think they have already started and well down the path and this is just generating hype. Can you imagine if they said screw we are not doing it now

Would it support cross platform play?
MS aren't too keen on that based on past experience, but who knows.
Ah man, hit with the hammer. It probably doesn't matter, but this was a bit of an in running joke between me and JSG. Shame to see him banned for it.

No complaints there. As long as Quantum Break makes it over..
Releasing in 2020, 1 less reason to own an Xbox.
"Port begging" within the context of GAF rules is the expression of desire to see the game in question release elsewhere in a thread unrelated to the possibility of a port, as seen in the infamous Epic Mickey thread. Making a thread titled "I would like to see Uncharted release on the PC" is not going to get you banned, but it'd likely be locked because the discussion would lead nowhere on the count of Uncharted being a Sony franchise, whose only ties to PC gaming are SOE games (...and SecuROM).
That isn't a fight you're going to win. Sure Sony has Naughty Dog but I don't think the comparison between Sony and Nintendo as a whole is going to go well for you.

Not really much of a problem if one doesn't care too much about their franchises. I like a lot more Microsoft franchises than I do Sony's and am feigning for some Halo and Crackdown on PC.
That's the only thing that makes sense to me as to the reason they are giving this poll -- especially in terms of the timing (SFV announcement).

SFV, Tekken 7 and KI.
Yep, and at 1080p+/60fps+ with whatever bells & whistles they can pack in. And whatever skin mods eventually come out. PC stays winning.

Why arent they keen on it btw? They have only ever done it with 1 game to my knowledge.
pshhhhh, 4K DSR @ 144hz ULMB.

I recently picked up the XB1 to go with my other two consoles and gaming PC. I'm starting to regret this decision...
I prefer all multiplatform games on PC so I don't know what to buy on console anymore.
Not that it's a bad thing for this to come to PCs.
I laughed.
Well, you are wrong there, there is still reason to own a PS4, none of the first party or proper exclusive titles on the PS4 is coming to PC, infact the PS4 is taking PC indies, and games like the Forest, Dungeon Defenders, Day Z.
And pretty much none of the future PS4 first party or second party exclusives will be on PC

Anything that could make the brand bigger is okay in my book.
The new KI is amazing, has an great price model and more people should play it. Heck, if it supports controllers this should even get to mobile platforms XD
Hopefully, not only with crossplay, but also shared cloud saves so everything you unlock on a platform gets unlocked everywhere.
Fixed.

Let's hope they do if it does happen (although I still doubt they'd leave something like this to just a poll on the official forum, will be interesting to see if it's mentioned in the next MS survey).
