Steve Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 It's a seriously dumb move IMO. These will be the new prices in the US: - 1 month = $10.99 3 months = $29.99 6 months = $59.99 Pre-paid codes you can buy in third party stores will be seeing these price hikes too, and it looks like the 12 month option is going away. That effectively doubles the price of 12 months of Gold, as you can currently pick up a 12 month code for 60 bucks. What the fuck are they thinking?

djdiggla Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 That's so fucking lame. They need to make that shit free and just charge for the game pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted January 23, 2021 Author Share Posted January 23, 2021 And just like that..... Quote We messed up today and you were right to let us know. Connecting and playing with friends is a vital part of gaming and we failed to meet the expectations of players who count on it every day. As a result, we have decided not to change Xbox Live Gold pricing. We’re turning this moment into an opportunity to bring Xbox Live more in line with how we see the player at the center of their experience. For free-to-play games, you will no longer need an Xbox Live Gold membership to play those games on Xbox. We are working hard to deliver this change as soon as possible in the coming months. If you are an Xbox Live Gold member already, you stay at your current price for renewal. New and existing members can continue to enjoy Xbox Live Gold for the same prices they pay today. In the US, $9.99 for 1-month, $24.99 for 3-months, $39.99 for 6-months and $59.99 for retail 12-months. Thank you. https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2021/01/22/update-on-xbox-live-gold-pricing/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deft Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Such a fucking weird thing to do. Plus the over the top apologising. Listen to the community blah blah. Whatever happened to ruthless capitalism. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted January 23, 2021 Author Share Posted January 23, 2021 People are pussies in 2021, active DV members excluded of course. "OMG, the angst! The PTSD! Xbox Live has gone up by 5 dollars! It's Vietnam all over again!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deft Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Microsoft never give a shit when their business O365 license prices go up. Were they expecting no moaning at a 100% price rise? I'd love to listen in to their emergency meeting on this. "Fuck guys we are getting slaughtered on Twitter, especially by the trans gaming community who say a 100% price rise is the same as dead naming them". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdiggla Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 So what games are F2P? Out of curiosity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted January 23, 2021 Author Share Posted January 23, 2021 Go into the store app on the console and click on "Top free games". There's 91 games there that are F2P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
