Since Hoeg seems to be a reliable source here, maybe this will clear things up.
I don't think he's fully right in this case (assuming Microsoft isn't lying).
This is because that summary by EU, quotes in footnote, the same document where Microsoft says they will decide case-by-case (which is quoted on "Get Facts!" pdf):
"Microsoft will not make any existing ZeniMax games exclusive to Xbox. They
will continue to be available for purchase for PCs and other gaming hardware for which they are
currently available, which will ensure that they continue to be available to current players of
those games. Microsoft will not be removing players' access to any current games, no matter where they currently play."
"For future ZeniMax games, Microsoft intends to make these games available
for purchase on PC and, where the games are designed as native mobile games, on mobile
devices running both iOS and Android. Future decisions on whether to distribute ZeniMax games
for other consoles will be made on a case-by-case basis, taking into account player demand and
sentiment, Microsoft's strategic and financial goals, and the willingness of third-party gaming
hardware providers to run Microsoft games and services. Microsoft will make all acquired
games and future releases available to subscribers of its Game Pass service on the day the games
are launched (which can be used to play on PCs, Xbox consoles and Android mobiles), but does
not currently anticipate distributing them through other subscription services. This reflects
Microsoft's broader strategy to promote a subscription-based model which it believes will
generate value and choice for game players. This policy would not preclude players from
downloading or buying these games outside of Xbox Game Pass: Microsoft anticipates that
existing games and future multi-platform games will be available for purchase from relevant
digital storefronts of all major consoles and PCs."
He's right only in sense that the EU's summary can be read as MS promising all future games too. But it seems unlikely that this is what original statement by MS means, considering the quoted parts.
