Rise of the Tomb Raider will be a time-exclusive XBox game, and released to other platforms (months/years?) later.
GTA V (2013) is still not released on PC. Halo 1 and 2 had been released years later to PC by Microsoft and part 2 was Vista-only for marketing reasons. Age of Empires, Flight Simulator and many other Microsoft Games PC games series were destroyed/stopped years ago.
Why should one upgrade to Win10 for PC games? For their DirectX12? Don't turn Rise of the Tomb Raider in the next Halo 1/2 for PC! Everyone still remembers the Vista-only DirectX11 while all games were stuck with DirectX9c for many years and WinXP support.
Somehow Microsoft forgot why Win95 was so successful and won the operating system war - a huge part were PC games with Win95 launch games like Hoover, Pinball, SimCity 2000 for Win95, Doom 2 for Win95, Pitfall for Win95 (WinG and DirectPlay, DirectSound, DirectX2D APIs).
Look at Steam, look at GoodOldGames (GoG). SteamBox is already around the corner.
