In a recent interview, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer spoke about the direction the Xbox platform and its games will take in the coming year. Recently, Microsoft has been shifting the way Xbox games can be played, changing the meaning of "exclusivity" and embracing cloud gaming, the PC, and other platforms. Spencer used the interview to clarify Microsoft's position on its games and hardware.
In an interview with XboxEra, Spencer discussed how the Xbox business model is changing and what this means for fans of the platform and games. Highlights from the interview include the following points:

According to Spencer, this was done as part of a push to be more "honest and transparent about where the games are showing." Players should know where they can get a hold of Xbox games, even if they aren't on the Xbox console.
