    The enshittification of Xbox live has begun, as we all predicted it would when gamepass became a thing.

      Enshittification of Xbox Live was day one of launch, dude. Online used to be free, nobody charged for it until Xbox did.

        Look we’re not going to have this argument, it’s been had a billion times on the internet. I’m a PC guy, paying for online is dumb. But a lot of people do and the service they get from it is going to be getting worse and more expensive in the future.

      As long as they don’t change my $60/yr price point, I’m ok with it. I never really played too many of the games with gold games anyway.

          Lmao, I’m sure I won’t have to wait long either. Subscriptions tend to climb unfortunately. I used to pay $10/mo for netflix, what’re we at now? Like 16-18?

            I think it’s like 20 something now actually, but that may be because I have the 4k one or the more screens one, whatever idk. My wife needed it. Being a PC guy I’m still of the opinion charging for multiplayer is dumb anyways, it’s pretty cool it’s been the same price for like 20 years though.
