If xbox live gold goes away, what happens to all our Xbox one games redeemed on Games With Gold?
As it stands, you can only play them if you have Gold account, which is significantly cheaper than Gamepass Ultimate...
If they make online multiplayer free, I will kick my own ass Fight Club style. My guess is that they will remove XBL but will roll the service into GP. F2P games will not require GP to play multiplayer. Would LOVE to be wrong but I just can’t fathom them giving up all that subscription money
Now remove the Xbox app from PC, it's terrible, use something else.
Windows 10 also installs a bunch of Xbox branded auxiliary apps, like Xbox services and Xbox Game bar.

Nailed it.Online MP needs to be free if MS want Halo Infinite F2P to be a success.
You are welcome!Nailed it.
Nailed it.
Wouldn't this just be Ultimate which I'm paying for at this very moment 14 bucks a month for everything.
Here is the plan. They can make like $5 a month off of xblg or like $10-$15 a month if they migrate everyone slowly to game pass. Free gold will be the carrot to get you playing and people will stay for gamepass. If even 30% or above of current gold subs convert to game pass it will quickly become far more profitable than charging for gold.
here's better they just convert everyone to gamepass, suddenly they have 30 million subscribers and everyone can just grab games they want to play
My casual buddies are never going to pay $14 a month when all they want to do is play COD.
It seem Xbox Brand is making all the moves lately wile Sony will likely follow along again like they did Paid Online why is the gaming brand that is in 3rd place leading the innovating charge wile the 1st place brand follow suit it weird really should be the other way around.
People prefer to pay less or even nothing at all.People play games not services.
I see this as further evidence that MS is "all in" on the subscription service model and has decreasing interest in consoles (except as a way to push subscriptions).
I doubt they will make XBL free. They are already investing/spending/losing untold millions on building the subscription-based future they envision. I would be astounded if they voluntarily gave up the millions (billions?) in revenue they get from XBL. Their bottom line would be a bloodbath.
But if online is free and F2P games are finally free to play why would those mainly interested in competitive online say “yeah sure, why not, I will spend an extra 60$/120$ a year for a service that doesn’t give me what I’m looking for because I support MS”???
Luckily there’s lot of those on the service that offers games for people to play.People play games not services.

Good guys at microsoft (maybe!) dropping shitty practice that they're invented in the first place.
I think the last time a console launched at $200 was Gamecube almost 20 years ago. Even low powered Wii was $250.^ Lockhart will never be $199. The insane GPU, RDNA2 GPU and custom silicon extremely fast SSD can attest to that. Even $299 seems like a crazy deal for what you'd be getting.
I can definitely see both GOLD and PSN+ changing.
- Basic, All Multiplayer free .. NO Bonus
- Gold/Next Level ... monthly free games, Bigger Sale discount, Online Storage
- Gold PASS/PSNow PASSR O F L I am never signing up after my 1 dollar deal expires ...

Online MP will be completely free.MS will simply remove the paywall from F2P games just like every other company. Will keep online play fee.
Why are you hoping that the obvious option (free online MP) will not become reality? (I know why.)Bundling two services doesn’t make either one ”free.”
Like Activision had zero confidence in CoD Warzone, suuuuure.Also a simple measuring stick of confidence in the product, they have none.
