It sounds like Game Pass pricing will drop soon.

LOL, people unsubscribing is working. I'm shocked it took them this long to react to this, though. The pricing is ridiculous. They would have to slash it in half or more to gain back the number of people lost. Additionally, they keep adding and removing the same games? The value proposition seems low if you have already played the existing catalog.

It seems funny to me that they put all their eggs in one basket (gamepass) and then decided to light the basket on fire and smash it with a hammer(increase the price and put the head of AI in charge of the xbox. Have radio silence on what's next for xbox for an entire generation of your console while it's rumored that your next console is your last).

As far as I know it was a loss leader, too, as in they priced it lower than it would be profitable to take over the market before the hikes. So with that in mind it sounds like they're pretty screwed.

Just as Windows 10 was the "last version of Windows."

(it was the last version anyone liked, but the two are not the same)
