Finally they stopped pouring money to it and revealed real price.
- Here comes the squeeze
  Give it another 5 years and they will probably shutter the service cause it's hemorrhaging money
  
  I think they won't shut it down because it's doing it's job by poisoning gaming market and giving Microsoft big advantage. People are also invested emotionally to the service, they are addicted and they will pay for their drugs. They will hate themselves but they will pay. In next 5 years I expect the price increase to $40. Those predators have army of analyst and psychology department that knows exactly how to execute business strategy on their slaves.
Whaaaat you're telling me the obvious Trojan horse to get you used to not owning games they sold at a massive discount compared to owning your games is getting the profit lever flipped? Shocking.
Should the Huddled Masses have learned a lesson about capitalist response triggers from the Jimmy Kimmel Censorship Fiasco?
I canceled Prime when they increased price while lowering features. I canceled Netflix when they forced ads upon me. I always felt alone when I did that, but I sense that this is the ultimate tool. You don't have to do without Disney+ or Game Pass forever. The CEO is going to be kindly golden parachuted if the quarterly numbers don't look good. All it takes is 3 months.
