Microsoft just raised the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to $29.99/month, and fans aren’t happy. Many are canceling, some are calling for a boycott, and even Microsoft’s website is struggling to keep up.

I stopped subscribing when they first went up from $1/month.

For about a year I could cancel my 1€ subscription and renew it every other month 6€ for half a year was worth it. But the app lacks so much no way I'm paying more

That's basically what I mean. I gamed the system until they closed the loophole. I found ONE game through it I would not have normally known or played. And that was Void Bastards.

Yeah, they used to constantly offer $1/month, I'd take that for a month and try a game I was interested in. I got value there, but I'd never pay more than that and certainly not on a recurring basis.
