Sorry to say, you can’t just make an OS and expect it to be successful. At this stage Windows is still the most popular OS in the world. Ask anyone what Windows is and tell somebody what Linux is. You can’t just push into the market and expect it to do wonders.

If Microsoft pisses off enough people with their policies then I can see a mass migration of PC gamers to another OS.  I'm already looking to move onto something else around 2020 or so. 

Windows has always been an up and down OS. Some years it’s bad, some years its good. If it pisses off gamers than they will simply revert back to their old ways again and market the hell out of it. Windows has been around for decades, I doubt a few haters are going to change a business plan that will probably generate billions. Remember if you want to play DX12 games and Xbox Exclusives like Scale bound, ReCore, Sea Of Thieves, Gears 4 and Horizon 3 just for a few examples you’re going to need to be a Windows/Xbox gamer. Go Linux or Mac, that’s your choice. I honestly couldn’t care less if they implement a pay wall. Everything else has a pay wall. I play games for fun and I’m willing to pay for my own entertainment if i have too. I have been subscribed to WoW since 2004. I don’t think a Windows paywall will worry me one bit. That will also lead to better support and updates.

To this day, no one has made a better and more successful OS than MS Windows. It’s not perfect but once you leave, trust me on this, you will come crawling back. You will be surprised on how good Windows actually is compared to its competitors.
