Microsoft should consider porting more OG Xbox games to Windows 10/XB1

I know OG Xbox bc isn't in the works at this time, but what would also be very cool and strengthen the Windows 10 marketplace is porting old OG Xbox exclusives to that storefront with Live capabilities and Xbox Achievements. Games like Panzer Dragon, Fusion Frenzy, GunValkyrie, MechAssault, Crimson Skies, KOTOR 1&2, Republic Commando, Battlefront 2, etc. Some of these games are also available on Steam/GOG so it could also share online connectivity with them and help their populations. Maybe if Microsoft goes after and succeeds in OG Xbox BC these games could be Play Anywhere titles.

There could even be PC games from that time added like Rollercoster Tycoon 2, Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds, Age of Empires 2&3, and the old GFWL games.

It would really add to the Windows 10 ecosystem. People might say they don't buy new systems and hardware to play older games, but this way it could introduce a new generation to these old classics, and make it so they won't end up completely forgotten in the past. Maybe if Phantom Dust does well this could be a reality In one way or another. It could lead to even more Play-Anywhere titles from 3rd party developers who see the potential in reviving older games without having to remaster them. So many possibilities.
