    Yeah, for $1 (between 9.99 and 10.99) this is just a price decoy / asymmetric dominance exercise.

    Core will go away (or at least deprioritized from a marketing perspective) once they’ve successfully transitioned everyone off GfG.

    Games with Gold literally gave you ownership of a game. This is a subscription that gives you access to games. That’s more than a semantic difference and is a trend we have to be wary of.

      Enshittification of Xbox Live was day one of launch, dude. Online used to be free, nobody charged for it until Xbox did.

        Look we’re not going to have this argument, it’s been had a billion times on the internet. I’m a PC guy, paying for online is dumb. But a lot of people do and the service they get from it is going to be getting worse and more expensive in the future.

    Personally I’m fine with this. It would be nice to get a refresh more often than “2 to 3 times a year” though…
