Once MS takes control of the business, stop investing too much and get a good cash flow, they can raise GP prices, they can display ads, they can create different GP plans, they can do whatever they want.

And unhappy GP subscribers can cancel their subscriptions should that happen. They can do whatever they want.

So it is in Microsoft's best interest to keep their users happy.

Absolutely. But people tend to get used to subscription. You first sign up because it's $7. Then you're paying $15, more than double you first signed up, but you just stay, because you're already invested in the content. Killing your subscription, kills your content.

Besides, with games costing $70 or maybe $80 next generation. Things are going to be tough for the casual audience.

Again, I've got mixed feelings about GP. But I'm not saying that somehow the fixed price tag strategy for full games might need to get more flexible in the future.
