What's more important is that Microsoft can, like Darth Vader, alter the deal.

They haven't been clear, but even if they were clear, the "facts" of how it works will remain uncertain, simply because it's remote controlled DRM and that's what DRM does.

And when do you think it's feasible to alter the deal?

This shitstorm surrounded the PS4 event. There are zero reasons this should catch Microsoft by surprise, so I can only assume this confusion is by design, since anything else would imply re-imagining our understanding of incompetence.
