Keep in mind that MS never stated once that GFWL was ever going to be permanently gone, this is more or less a result of their desire to bring it back, just in a slightly different form.

Yeah, they just needed some time to think of a way to make it much worse.

I think that if this gets bashed again and they either sort it out or grit their teeth will just have us waiting another 5-8 years before they try it again. They say 3rd times the charm but I honestly wouldn't want to give them a 3rd chance at this point. Any mega corp would desire a walled restricted garden where they can control the state of an industry and keep siphoning from peoples pockets than to let everything and everyone walk in and our of their door while supporting them hand over foot, this is how mega corps usually operate anyway, can't say I;ve seen one that openly cares for absolutely everyone, including their competition to a point where they don't strive to be #1 at all times while rpeventing anyone from taking said spot.
