It sounds like Game Pass pricing will drop soon.

    Even if it was dirt cheap, I don’t want to give microsoft my money. I don’t want to rent games or get stuck with a subscription.

      I’ve been saying that since the Xbox was released. But I’ve been anti Microsoft for a long time.

      Has Microsoft added much to gaming other than DirectX? I know they just bought Halo so they could have an exclusive. I was pretty upset that Halo wasn’t going to be released on other platforms.

    LOL, people unsubscribing is working. I’m shocked it took them this long to react to this, though. The pricing is ridiculous. They would have to slash it in half or more to gain back the number of people lost. Additionally, they keep adding and removing the same games? The value proposition seems low if you have already played the existing catalog.

    It seems funny to me that they put all their eggs in one basket (gamepass) and then decided to light the basket on fire and smash it with a hammer(increase the price and put the head of AI in charge of the xbox. Have radio silence on what’s next for xbox for an entire generation of your console while it’s rumored that your next console is your last).

      Just as Windows 10 was the “last version of Windows.”

      (it was the last version anyone liked, but the two are not the same)
