I sidste måned sagde Epic Games VP og medstifter af Unreal, Tim Sweeney, at Microsoft forsøger at få monopol på PC-udviklingen med Windows 10. Xbox-divisiones Phil Spencer har nu kommenteret på denne beskyldning ved Microsoft Build Conference 2016 (opsamlet af Gamespot), og det lød således:
"With Xbox, I've got five-year-olds through 95-year-olds on my platform and I need to know that my parental control systems are going to work, I need to know that IP protection is there. I can't have somebody ripping off Mario 64 and throwing it in our store. I will protect the sanctity and safety of the Xbox One experience because as a parent myself I want to know that when I say 'This is what my kids can see or play,' this is what's going to happen... Beyond that, I'd love to see a ton of applications come to Xbox and games obviously."
