You will be charged for 12 months at the current price aka no grandfathering.Im on 1 year gold with automatic renewal. what happens then?
fuckers.You will be charged for 12 months at the current price aka no grandfathering.
I've NEVER bought Gold through Xbox when it's cheaper to buy from sites like CDKeys and the point still stands, if you want to buy a year of gold nothing is stopping you, I even provided you a link.That's CDKeys. Now, go log onto to Xbox and try to buy a year from Gold from Microsoft.
Microsoft Has Stopped Selling One-Year Xbox Live Gold Subscriptions - Thurrott.com
Microsoft has confirmed that it is no longer selling one-year Xbox Live Gold subscriptions, leading to speculation about the future.www.thurrott.com
I dont see any reason for someone to fake/photoshop this so I am leaning in camp real. Its clearly a way to try and push people towards GPU. I think they will try to spin it a bit by announcing FTP games no longer require gold.
They do need to be free on FTP. Definitely could be real this time, but at this point you'd be an idiot to have an Xbox without GP anyway, so not much difference for Xbox users.
There is no way they stopped selling the 12 month digital codes to retailers months ago, that is still propaganda regardless. LOL
THe retail situation on the digital services is always weird to me. I know 6 month GPU cards exist right? I have never seen one in public.
Fair enough. Asking why someone would do something on the internet is a dumb question to ask on my part. People have their reasons.Someone decided to make a video of a smoking XSX. It was very obvious fake - at least to me - but the usual Sony Ponies were eating it up for truth. When confirmation came it was an hoax the usal ponies were not to be seen in that thread ever again. I see the same people in this thread eating it up for truth, console war is serious buisness and after the Hitman 3 DF video many won't stand another cycle of positive Xbox news so I wouldn't say this is true until we get confirmation by MS themselves.
Maths didn't add up at all for Gamepass and price had to go up or there wouldn't be AAA games on it. Here we are, although the money is taken on Gold for now, which is mostly the same.
Now every Xbox fan will start to pay for Bethesda $7.5 billion buy and it isn't cheap. Power your wallet. You'll need a second job to choose Xbox.
Subscription models don't make much sense in gaming. You end up paying a lot AND never being able to play the games you want when you want.
Imagine playing with aim bots and hackers all day.
You don’t pay a whore for sex. You, pay her to leave.
Same idea.
It’s not worth the grief it can cause because it’s “free”.
what do people expect ??
they can not let u play games for free.. they pay to bring 3rd party games to gamepass
the games cost them money to develop from their 1st party
expect sub price increase when their 1st party top games drop on gamepass
they work to take ur money not to give u free games
Microsoft and Sony alike
Oh god. Remember all the supposed insiders saying how gold was going away in July and gamepass would the all in one package. LOL
Oh my GOD it's not a rumor anymore
HOly FUCK. Sony better not get any ideas or this generation is DONE

They wanted to make their exclusive 80$. Sony is gonna increase soon I assume
I think that the Xbox Gold titles for the next month was the good news.You'd think they would try to get some good news out along with this but no
As i said before, there are fanbases and there is cultist, are you butthurt son? Because this thread is about of Microsoft not Sony fansI don't care. It's just idiotic to pretend that only Microsoft fans act like their favorite company is their friend. It's very evident on this forum (and even the poster I quoted above) that the Sony fans are just as one-eyed.
Yeah that is super expensive.120 bucks a year to play fortnite or warzone. yikes! sony don't u dare
I could see this as a ploy to make GamePass more attractive.
No Changes to Xbox Live Gold Pricing, Free-to-Play Games to be Unlocked [Update] - Xbox Wire
[UPDATED on 1/22/2021 at 8:52 PM PT] We messed up today and you were right to let us know. Connecting and playing with friends is a vital part of gaming and we failed to meet the expectations of players who count on it every day. As a result, we have decided not to change Xbox […]news.xbox.com
Confirmed price change:
Going forward, new pricing will be 1-month for $10.99, 3-months for $29.99, and 6-months for $59.99, or your local market equivalent.
See they are just raising the price so they bank some money to go free down the road. I don't know why they just don't open the warchest and just make it free, they got the money.Is gold free yet?
Well it is real ,but did they just increas the price with no good news to offset it?Let's just wait to see if it is real first.
