Whatever happens now with live on PC is definitely being paid for by Xbox one gamers.

 

You seem to not understand that whatever Xbox One gamers pay goes to Microsoft's pockets, not to develop or make better any Microsoft ecosystem, including PC. The notion that MS's will use Gold subscription income to make Live on PC a better place is as absurd as saying Playstation players contribute to make a better PS ecosystem by paying for PS+ or that Blizzard actively improves WoW with the fee income of the game. xD

You do know that the Xbox division runs on its own budget right? It's obvious that the money circulates and it's been circulating with everything since Microsoft was forced by the court to split the company up into different divisions. The furthering of any Xbox live investment seems to be that they need to complete their ultimate goal, which means PC gamers and will not have to pay a red cent. Back in the day on Vgchartz the running argument was that Xbox lives profits serve to improve the experience which made it better than psn (which was free but bare bones in 2010-11) I could've sworn you were there in those days.back on gametrailers was doing bonus round and one of the investors there said that live ran on pure profit. It's obviously plausible that those funds can stretch into the PC version. Microsofts subscriptions must've taken a huge blow since they've been in second place though, so we shall see what becomes of this.
