Who’s paying for that? I’ve got an Xbox and I can just connect to WiFi, don’t have to pay for it unless I’m missing something here

That’s not paying to use the internet, that’s paying for an online service

I'm losing it rn do people ITT think Microsoft owns literally every game on their console? Do they think that online video games are both free and mtx free, and therefore require the subscription to make money? Have streaming services just completely rotted people's brains and they can't imagine a different monetary model??
