if i have a game pay complete in the xbox why can i play the game in the pc

It depends on what game it is. Not all games support Play Anywhere.

I feel you on this. Playstation allows players without there online subscription to still play Fortnite because it is a F2P game.

I really hope Xbox can do something about this. Having to pay a monthly cost to play a free game makes no sense to me even though it is an online game.

That is a big reason as to why i switched from console to PC.. PC players don't have to pay for online subscriptions.

Better question is why do we have to pay for Xbox Live at all period? You don't have to pay to play on any game on PC. Yeah I know, playing too use the servers and maintenance of those servers.

Valve, that is for PC or console too?

Well given they have games on both PC and console, I'm going to say both.

But it is a good example. I want to play Left 4 Dead online I can do so for no charge on Valve's servers with the PC version. Yet I want to play it on my Xbox, I have to pay Microsoft to be able to play on Valve's servers.

How is that right?

Why should people pay Microsoft for a service they are not supplying in this case.

a family system not for the family, finally microsoft are doing to the console world what they did to the pc world, trying to take complete control but using a device to control everything, they did it with windows and now this.

why should i have to pay a fee to play a game on diff profiles in the same house, myself and 2 sons have our own profiles and under this console to play one game will mean i have to pay 3 times.
