I would argue xbox does not make enough good games a year to remotely support this absurd cost. The whole thing is a non starter.

Has anyone ever had better job security than Phil Spencer?
20,000,000 layoffs and somehow the 1 guy who speedran the death of your console brand is still employed.

Last time I visited them, like 2 years ago they would defend anything MS did, so I thought it was still the same.

Yea it will work for some people but not everyone. MS is dumb if they think people will just transition from console to PC without any issues. A lot of hardcore users will most if not all hardcore users really but causals wont and they will lose them to PS.

Just saw that PC Game Pass will go to $16.49, which is still reasonable considering we get Day-1 releases. I thought we'd get the same increase as consoles and was trying to see the justification for that. I guess I'll keep my subscription for now, as it all depends on their catalog.

Anyone who pays normal prices for sub plans is insane.
After 6 years of GPU where I paid for 3 years of Gold (twice) and then top up for $1 or 1 month making it GPU, Xbox still has 2:1 conversion. Unless they took away conversion just now.
I bought 3 years of Gold at Costco for I think $80 CDN per year a couple months ago. That's $240. Converts to 1.5 years of GPU. To activate that you pay for 1 additional month for $23 CDN. So $263 CDN for 1.5 years of GPU. And I split it with a buddy home sharing (subs are shareable too). Cost me $130.
The old GPU Canada price was $23/mth. At 18 months that's $414. Saved myself 40%.
GPU Canada is now $34/month (just checked their site). At 18 months that's $612. Whoever pays regular price is nuts. lol. People got to know how to find deals and home share with a friend or fam member to cut costs in half.

Online Multiplayer on Console. Fortnite Crew. Ubisoft+ Classics. Not to mention that consoles are subsidised and PCs aren't.

Bigger refund

Cloud, Fortnite Crew sub and it works on both console and PC.
But if you don't care about those things then you're getting massively shafted as a console user. Minimum of $30 for day one games on console, $16.49 on PC.

Why is my existing premium still the old price but the advertised is the new price? When are existing subs going to be bumped up?
edit: never mind got answer from a clanker, "legacy sub".

They really think I'm finding 6 new "AAA"games a year to make this worth it?$360 a year for COD

Shills were deactivated after the Activision acquisition.
Sad state but not surprising. MSFT needs to keep increasing average user value given poor sales performance. Would not be surprised if prices go up again in H1 to $20/$35
A little of elitism maybe

Better off spending $360 a year on a handful games you'll actually want to play.

Its been a more PlayStation centric site for longer than 2 years, I believe thats even why they made an official Xbox Games Studios thread so every Xbox thread didnt devolve into people shitting on Xbox but even that thread isnt exactly an Xbox circlejerk.
