So more DLC, transactions or closed systems like how they wanted the X1 to be? Or kinda like mobile gaming with the freemium crap? No, Microsoft, Gaming is doing fine. We don't need you or the likes of you to fuck it up further. The whole online subscription model was also something they "invented'' thanks a bunch.

No it isn't. Development and marketing costs are very high now. Why do you think more studios are going out of business more than ever before? 

Developement costs are not as high as they were in the beginning of last gen and for every studio that goes out of business 2 are opening in it's place. The industry is bigger than ever.
