Hope this isn't some kind of token gesture so MS can say "See, we don't restrict our games to only Xbox and PC, unlike Sony and Nintendo. Please accept our proposal to buy (next game company they buy for several billion dollars)."
To be fair, it IS more than Sony or Nintendo are doing.
Not entirely. Sony has been releasing games to PC.
At least a year after releasing it on console, in an attempt to get players to buy the console for the sequels. I think there's at least a small chance they might start releasing them sooner but we'll have to see.
