What I think is that you, my friend, are ignorant in regards to Microsoft's operation practices.

Because they could think it might force people desperate enough to play the game to buy one of their overpriced pieces of trash, which gives them a bigger market share in the console industry, and thus, more monopolistic control with which they can further shaft more people, more often.

Since it had the possibilty of giving them more stifling control over the market. It's conjecture, mind you, but it's based on previous moves made by them.

It's a strong possibility.
