    come to -phrases

    Comment
    "when it comes to" or "it won't come to that" are phrases I'm well familiar with.

    But is it possible to use "it comes to" in the present tense (without when) which sounds really strange to me?

    e.g when describing a chain of actions, in a general way.

    If X happens, Y happens.
    If X happens, it comes to Y.
    We all know that when people change their buying behaviour, this normally has an effect on record companies. IT COMES TO major changes.

    Is this use of "It comes to" plain wrong, bad language or even acceptable?
    Thank you very much in advance.

    In my opinion, you can not use "it comes to" to mean it results in.
