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.

Theoretically, now that Microsoft owns half the AAA studios, you could expect Gamepass to have a lot of day 1 AAA games.

Unfortunately, they just bought all the studios and... ordered them to stop making games or something.

I'd cancel if I hadn't done it several years ago. Oh well.
