I recall statements that, due to the way AC was programmed and functions, a micro-transaction system is impossible to implement without re-writing / re-coding the entire thing from scratch.
Or, in short, AC will simply cease to exist when nostalgia no longer convinces them to support a money sink.

With how much people hate anyone who macros/exploits/game's the system their way to the top already, I think you would see a lot of people quit with a F2P option where people could now directly buy advantages.
AC survives because of the niche style of game it is. The same crowd that likes that style of game enough to be playing it for 11 years is the same crowd that likely hates microtransactions. I doubt those transactions would bring in enough other players/generate enough money to cover the loss of the subscriptions.
