I have the strong feeling that this will be a temporary thing. MS just needs to port Halo 5 and other big Xbox exclusives to PC, brag about the "powah of da Cloud!!" they will be using, complain about the cost of running all the gazillion servers for those games, and switch XBL for PC to a paid subscription.

Sure, on PC one can always refuse to buy any following XBL game. But doing so they will lose all the ports from console. To believe that MS isn't looking for a way to milk the Windows user base is simply unrealistic.
