Really? I thought their new goal was to alienate and drive everyone away from Xbox. That’s what they did to me. I didn’t want to, but I had to cancel gamepass. The price in Canada is totally insane now and not affordable. There is no consistency and stability anymore with the brand either, which makes it risky to invest in. It’s really sad because the Series X is fantastic. But their handling of the brand is all over the place. It seems safer to get the games I want on PlayStation. And Valve hardware is becoming very interesting, and has consistent messaging and staying power.
I hope I’ll be able to finish Keeper before my gamepass expires end of the month, as almost 40$ (after tax) a month in my province for gamepass is ridiculous.
Oh good. Raise the price to almost 40$ CAD (after tax) and remove DLC discounts. Everyone cancelling is sure to subscribe again with that amazing deal.
How about they rehire the thousands of employees they fired for no reason instead, as the company is making record profits and can afford to pay all their execs disgustingly well.
With 12% tax where I am in Canada, it is now almost 40$ a month. It is a better value now to buy games I can always play. This insane increase along with the savage job cuts they have done, is too much. I just cancelled gamepass.
This is horrifying. The tv streaming mentality is now being applied to games because of gamepass. This is a disaster for everyone. The last thing we need is the type of metric Netflix uses to cancel or renew shows, being applied to games. I love gamepass as a consumer, but if this is the road developers are going down, having to design games specifically to do well in gamepass metrics, I wish gamepass never existed.
