James Skywalker 528 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I paid for a year subscription 6 months ago and it doesn’t work anymore. I guess they did cancel them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tears of the Cows 1,206 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Why would this indicate removal of a paywall? They merged gold & game pass to make ultimate, and don’t want to discount it, so they’ll stop selling XBL Gold for $60 a year and rather $120 a year by forcing people to pay monthly. Then you compare the $120 vs $150 and realize you might as well spend the $150. Paywalls are staying, Microsoft is discretely trying to up the price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

102020393023445948594 2,223 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 they probably don't want you to commit to 12 months of vanilla live when they're about to juice up the service by combining it with HoboPass, effective this november or whenever Suckies X launches.

Xbox Live will never be free. Get ready to subsidize more PC ports and services for the hermits. Xcloud, Gamepass, and your CONSOLE ONLINE PAYWALL all in one package for the same price is my bet.

Gamepass alone has 10 million subscribers that's 100m revenue per month. Microsoft has like a quarter of a trillion dollars. They'll be alright.
