For the record I didn't downvote you but I personally don't agree since if the publisher isn't going to be listening to logical reasoning anyways, then if this didn't happen, they'd just use a different excuse to do it.

That said, for this game at least, given that this is a Microsoft game, doesn't it already require a Microsoft account to play?

The Steam page does not list a requirement such as a Microsoft account. But it will probably require one. But doesn't look like a real problem for hacker to get around it, if it even requires one. I assume its only required for online features, but I don't know.
