Ahhh after reading the segment of the article posted int he OP I see why a no brainer question has such a high post count, the article is actually a stealth troll of QB becoming dual-platform.
I'm not sure I buy the complaint that people bought Xb one specifically because QB was not going to be dual platform. The number of people in that camp, IMO is so low that it's not really valid for most Xb one owners to bitch about it. After all, if you don't have a PC capable of playing the game (like me) then the cheapest option for upfront cost is still Xb one.
But the complaint about having to pay for XBL Gold, vs PC gamers who pay nothing is a fair complaint. MS will have to make the online parts of QB available to XBL Silver users, or they will have to charge an annual subscription for PC (not $60 of course, that amount for access to a single game's content is ridiculous).
