This is for game pass which affects PC gamers too. Game Pass has at times been a good value way to play games that you dont care to own. Like renting a game for a month for 10 bucks or whatever it was, which was decent for some of the big AAA games that came out on it day one. I think the new changes wrap Xbox Live into the base tier of the service.

And the best part about PC is I am NOT forced into their shitcosystem and can still obtain the games on Pay Pass

Boycott Microsoft

The only reason I'm paying for any kind of Xbox subscription is to keep a few older COD online unlocks available. I wonder if I could use my pihole to intercept that and replay something back to the Xbox so I can still use them
