I don't think it makes sense to have games cross platform and allow the user to install on whichever he wants. In fact, even on the same platform, you are only suppose to install it on ONE machine. They even use CD-Keys and whatnot to make sure two games installed from the same CD-Key can't play with each other on the network. So, releasing a game that allows it to be installed on any platform, basically says, go ahead and install it on three machines.

And, I don't really see why a game would need to be installable on more than one platform for ONE user. You would be constantly moving save game files around, talk about a pain in the ass.

Pick the product you want and buy it.

Now, I understand productivity software (not games) needing to be on more than one platform. Just not games, it really does not make sense 99.9% of the time.
