There most likely talking about their Windows Store having an Xbox subscription. Why not? It’s a smart move and rightfully deserving. You want to play Xbox games on PC well then here’s the deal. If you don’t want to buy a XB1 but want the games then you need to subscribe. This is nothing new. I expected this. I believe all console manufactures will follow suit very soon. I believe there will be a future Nintendo and PSN app for PCs allowing access to their games at a cost of subscribing to their services. There’s too much market being lost keeping their games locked on hardware.
I highly doubt that you need two subscriptions of Live, it should carry over to your PC Windows 10 store as well if you’re already an Xbox Owner and Subscriber. If that is the case I am all for it.
MS isn’t going to allow gamers to avoid there hardware platforms without a catch, there not that stupid. Xbox will become a universal app, and you can choose how you would like to access it, whether it be by a Console format or a PC format.
Either way this doesn’t affect me one bit. Steam still remains free and offers the best 3rd party support in the industry. If you want some of the best 1st party exclusives then Windows 10 Store has that covered at a price.
