I'm done. This will be my last month of GamePass. The value just isn't there for me anymore. I don't play enough games to justify the new price. The few games I do play I'm going to pick up used on ebay and just go that route. I'll stick with my PC and my Xbox will slowly wither into a media center because Microsoft wants to squeeze blood from a stone with their customers.
Spent a trillion dollars buying Activision Blizzard, laid off a ton of employees and killed studios, two price hikes on the console that is 3 or 4 years old, and now a GamePass price hike.
No. I'm done. Fuck that. There's nothing I can do about everything else getting more expensive like groceries and gas. But this? I can absolutely do something about this.
Edit: Oh, I forgot about them killing the rewards program too. Just murdering any type of value prospect for those of us who don't want to spend every dime we have on entertainment. Yeah, fuck off with this money grubbing bullshit. Simultaneously making record profits but screwing over employees, studios, and customers all at the same time. No wonder they're giving up on hardware. We haven't had a decent first-party game this entire console cycle.
