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 hate it, but it's easy to justify from a dev perspective. If it's switched off it doesn't need to be tested.

Edit: on difficulty to implement - I'm guessing it's down to the increased load from having to render twice on a single device, bigger higher res screens only make this more difficult. Likely needs to be optimised differently etc. I hate it too, I love couch co-op.
