No biggie. Surprised Microsoft didn't end this a long time ago.
That didn't take long.
They couldn't even wait for when, or if, the ABK acquisition closes.

Wonder how much gamepass will cost if they get all this ABK stuff in there....
As much as your internet each month?

It should have stopped sooner so we wouldn't have to deal with all the toxic zealots and cultists poisoning every gaming community for years.
Now pay the full price and see how many games you actually play. The value doesn't look as good anymore.

It aint gonna be cheap or worth it unless you a TES and COD crackwhore.
I'm curious if MS will put out an official statement on this. If it's true, then it's interesting that they didn't even wait until there's a definitive answer with ABK. Plus, it's a risky move considering their recent hardware sales figures and reports that Game Pass subscription rates are stagnating. Current subscribers may be willing to give up the loophole, but there might be issues with attracting new subscribers.
With their large cash reserves they can take a risk. It's true, they responded to their puppet Tom Warren https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/26/23657627/microsoft-xbox-game-pass-trial-offer-stopped
We all knew this would happen sooner or later, gold conversion will be next. Its not an official price increase but its cutting out the loop holes which is the same thing.
The actual price increase will come later this year
I find it hilarious that the people who were spreading and praising the service were the ones using and abusing that trick.
I wonder if the subs will drop now, because, time as passed and those were not increasing.
Increase in the price of the service is an certainly.

True enough about taking a risk. The 'Friends and Family Plan' highlighted in the article shows that too.
I give them untill end of year to raise prices. I think 15 to 20$ per month for base model with AB games. If they thought ms s charity they re in for ride awakening. Still think Phil s shaking. Imagine if they dont raise GP subs to 50M or something. Shareholders ll want some heads.
If they get CoD but the price is raised by $60 a year and they stop the easy ways to abuse it.
