Another way, Microsoft could increase its presence in these regions is by partnering with other companies (Tencent, mobile services companies, etcetera).

25) Make a bold prediction for 2022.
Pay for gold to get MP will go away. Have some extended predictions below, but this is the one I want to count.

Xbox Live Gold will be re-organized. Pay for MP will go the way of the dodo. Gold will continue to exist, but will shift to being a sub focused on cloud gaming - with gold you'll be able to stream xCloud in 4K (and keep GwG of course). This'll make it align with Stadia Pro, and as such the yearly purchase option will be removed, removing the 3 year gold->gp loophole. There will also be an additional GP tier that is cloud-only for 10$ a month, like console/PC. Finally, (at least some) digitally purchased games on the Xbox store will include streamable cloud versions as well.
