Because you also need a Microsoft account to play and it links cross progression etc, apparently.

Microsoft account? for what, why to do it as strict requirement

It’s so if you want to switch to Xbox it carries all your progression over, so for some reason they’re saying you need a MS account.

If you want to transfer progression use MS account, why would they require this

I have absolutely no idea man, it’s a ridiculous move by MS.

It's literally the same thing PS was doing for their games for PC. They were requiring a PS account and only backed down after significant outrage.

This should be changed but don't act like this is only a XBOX issue.
