Lobby the gov insisting all citizens must sign up and have a mandated subscription...before further 50% updates.
replies:
If they lost less than a third of the total, they're making a lot of money for the short term.
In the long term, they're fucking themselves into obscurity.

All they need to do is get one Elon to sign up to their $5 billion SuperAlpha WinnersOnlyPlusPassPlan and they’re golden.

So I ditched it because I didn’t want to pay for it. Then I find out you have to have it to play any games online. “But it supports the servers!”.
Then please explain to me, why can I use the same copy of FH6 on either my PC or Xbox, but yet when I play it on tje PC, I have full access to online play? No additional charge or GamePass required.
replies:
Not surprising given they‘ve lowered the price again shortly after.
It's okay for them as ong as the userbase loss is less than that 50%.

As Dunkey once said, Microsoft is run by Ants.
I got rid of my Xbox because steam felt better and Xbox still doesn't have VR
The price hike didn't really affect me tbh
I dropped out based on the price hike. We just weren’t getting the value. I bought a couple full evergreen games that I get back to often and then just lived without the rest. Also cancelled Netflix and a couple of other subscriptions. Just too much money to spend and enough time.
Duh?
You nerds were so preoccupied with screeching at Microsoft you all mostly missed 2-3 years worth of games for pennies on the dollar.
For years you could buy up to 3 years of game pass ultimate for about $2 a month and I got literally over 3k worth of games at launch for basically free/pennies. You'd have to be a moron to not jump on it.
Of course the count was going to go down. That was the strategy. It was never sustainable.
