Gotta love this. Totally understandable. MS want all the money and control for themselves. And they're willing to walk over corpses for it. Again. (Just another edition of always online DRM, just with a bit more butt kissing)
MS probably won't care though. They'll just sell those things directly bundled for 50 Dollars or so, as usual.

Very true, sadly.
