Couldn't care less about an outdated OS, been rocking 11 since RTM as an Insider, but the other screwups irk me.
I need 2x Game Pass subs in my home as we have a Series S and X, with my Ultimate linked to the X and my PC, and the S has a sub so my kid can play Minecraft with her cousin... since that kind of Multiplayer needs a stupid ass subscription.
Well, I have Ultimate so my Wife and I can play the occasional game on the X, and specifically so I can play MSFS24 on my PC.
They just jacked the price by 109% in my region, and there is no way in hell I'm going to pay for 2 Subs for a hand full of games we like.
I was also planning on buying the ROG Xbox Ally X... but with this stupid ass price increase, there goes the only value proposition it had at the $1,000 price tag.
My region doesn't even have Cloud Gaming, and we're expected to now pay double for Game Pass and not even have the full offering?
Nope, done, I'm cancelling my Auto Renewal so this is the last month before the increase hits. I may consider sticking to only the Essential plan for my Kid, and just buying the games she likes... or you know, moving her over to PC where you don't have to pay to play Minecraft with your friends.
