    Maybe you shouldn’t have bought Activision for $69 **billion **dollars, idiots. Now you have to monetize the shit out of everything for the next decade to try to justify it, studios have no sales figures to show for their work, Game Pass is shedding subscribers like crazy, and consumers have less healthy competition. Fuck Microsoft.

    looool, because a 50% price increase wasn’t bad enough. Has anyone not cancelled yet?

    If Gamepass canalized COD so much, why not just remove that from Gamepass instead of raising the price?

    Still wouldn’t have been good, but it would have been better than the crazy price hike.

      No no no you don’t understand. Somehow gamers should not only pay subscriptions, but also pay for the games. That’s real capitalism.
