7% of games released.
Details? Of all PC games or all XBOX games?
Indie or corporate publisher?
And what percent of XBOX sales come from those games?

Considering Plays Anywhere isn't available through Steam (~75% PC market share) and is only now inching into Battle.net wouldn't it make more sense to see if moves more copies of the games that align with it?

After all, a big share of PC games don't have XBOX versions.
It would help to know if Plays Anywhere helps, hinders, or is irrelevant.

Consumers are funny; they often don't care about things pundits swear they should care about. DRM, Platform Lock-in, Digital licensing. On paper Plays anywhere sounds like a good thing but out in the real world?
