  • Ron67204186 Ron (@Ron67204186) reported

    @ID_Xbox @Xbox You know what's really cool? Not screwing over your customers. Glad I bought my PS5 before my series X. Only buy xbox for Forza series and maybe a couple other games. With the ridiculous hike for some lame *** online service I barely use. I'll skip next gen xbox. Greedy *****

  • SlyPerformer SlyPerformer (@SlyPerformer) reported

    @AngryJoeShow @Xbox They do got the smoothest dashboard to be fair, and hey Nintendo is cheap af but their service sucks, so you want free service that sucks or paid service that’s good?

  • ArrowIshmael ArrowGamer (@ArrowIshmael) reported

    @XcloudTimdog I like Xbox but this isn’t really looking good they increased the price of Xbox live gold just let Xbox live gold go make it free no one wants to pay multiplayer where now in 2021 and PC Players can enjoy free multiplayer fix this @XboxP3

  • ShoulderWinter The Winter Shoulder (@ShoulderWinter) reported

    Raising the price of XBL Gold is dumb as hell, the service currently doesn't even justify the price it's at now. Really bad move @Microsoft @Xbox.

  • CoryFromCory CoryFromCory (@CoryFromCory) reported

    @AngryJoeShow @Xbox Current members won't see an increase, but yeah this is an awful play by Microsoft. Not only is they're service essentially no different than the alternatives, but they chose to roll this out during a pandemic. Gotta pad that bottom line.

  • KaardsTheGamer whoever this is (@KaardsTheGamer) reported

    @Supahfly_iTried @WuCR34M I personally feel like Xbox has been trying to go from "console" to "service" for years now and they should really just do it.

  • Manu962k Manas (@Manu962k) reported

    @XboxSupport @XboxP3 Fix this.

  • savalles SAV (@savalles) reported

    @SpawnWaveMedia Hate live service games and subscriptions, I believe that’s why people prefer Sony. Xbox focuses heavily on digital subscriptions

  • LiamB9L Liam9L (meme-echo) (@LiamB9L) reported

    Really, is a price hike needed for #XboxLiveGold it’s already $60 a year. Now #Microsoft want it to be $120 a year, after about 3-4 years you could buy a second Xbox for this much. Is it even adding anything to make the service better or is it just Microsoft wanting more $

  • JustSay54618512 Just Sayin (@JustSay54618512) reported

    @Robcat99_ @AndrewAlerts THIS. They KNOW no one wants their stupid Netflix for Games type service. Wasn’t enough to make Gold by itself impossible to find, now we gotta pay the same price REGARDLESS of which we choose? I went from indifference towards XBox to now hoping they fail. #bringbackSegaconsoles

  • MrWest240 Allen West (@MrWest240) reported

    @DrChrisFlowers @vicious696 They cannot raise prices on a service that's free on almost all platforms for low or no-cost on top of that what games have you put out over the year to justify this hike they haven't proved anything @Xbox

  • ChiefChakra ChiefChakra (@ChiefChakra) reported

    @videogamedeals Not sure if it's just me or what, but I've been having trouble redeeming the gift card code and been working with @XboxSupport for a while now to get the credit. I haven't tried the Gold code yet, not sure if it'll convert directly to Ultimate (I currently do have Ultimate)

  • humanbeing1582 Dr. Precarious Human (@humanbeing1582) reported

    @Xbox **** you guys, not all of us can afford $120/mo gold service

  • TheDuperghoul Douglas (@TheDuperghoul) reported

    @SnypazPlays @Astrixias @GameSpot The only problem is if you don't have $60 and had to cancel. My brother's xbox live gold expired last month. But all he has to do is quickly pay $60 which he has. For now, just have me logged in the background as he plays apex legends

  • dark1x John Linneman (@dark1x) reported

    @Marble19841 @WOOLLEY_GAMER It would probably also drop frames at native 4K. It’s really not clear why they went for native 4K on Xbox. Reminds me of the One X issue where games often ran at higher resolutions but with more dips in performance.

  • GRS2077 GRS (@GRS2077) reported

    @XcloudTimdog Live Gold is a service that goes against everything that Xbox currently believes, that service should end and not be more expensive.

  • exponential2020 Methodicalmadness (@exponential2020) reported

    @TonyArt95 @Xbox They sdds hoping to get more casuals on to the service by creating the series S and then have completely screwed it up by doing this.

  • TheTruth9683 Mando83 (@TheTruth9683) reported

    @FactsMetroid @HydratedPepper @Bi_Boscha 1st off I agree initial cost for a good PC can be around 1500 however Once Built it will last you 5 or so years before needed upgraded Even then it will be cheap upgrades but people don't seem to have a problem spending 500 to over a 1k more for new PS5 or xbox every 5 or so yrs

  • RamzR_ N&C Ramz (@RamzR_) reported

    Just wanna grind😕 Every month I find a new problem, first it was my controller, then switching back & fourth from Xbox to PS.. and now my eyes are straining bad 4 days in a row. Losing my mind....

  • Tectosaurus Ͳ 🌿 (@Tectosaurus) reported

    @SavagexInstinct @charlieINTEL The problem is that you need to pay to play FREE multiplayer games on Xbox. Not on PlayStation. They charge half of that.

  • purpleking54 Dr Dufresne (@purpleking54) reported

    @Xbox I really like how I’ve been trying to get your new stupid console for months and now instead of hearing news that you’re selling more; I hear your raising your price on an online service that doesn’t need to have a charge associated to begin with.

  • NemoGrinds NEMO 2K🤴 (@NemoGrinds) reported

    @sumith_hebbar @charlieINTEL Exactly like xbox has the best customer service

  • jtinch Jack (@jtinch) reported

    @dartschoo1 GamePass should be premium priced, hell they can up the price and I’d understand. My problem is Xbox Live gold still being a thing to begin with. Doubling the price is the most 2000’s thing they could do, especially for a service that only exists to gate-keep you from multiplayer

  • richardfornoles Richard Fornoles (@richardfornoles) reported

    @Nintendeal This brings Xbox to death just like they did on Xbox One DRM issue. "pandemic" is not on their vocabulary. what a inhuman move.

  • GodzillaSays Godzilla King Of The Monsters (@GodzillaSays) reported

    @BrentSimons @Xbox @Microsoft I feel like they trying to force more game pass subs. I say get rid of Gold and make game pass it's own service at 9.99 a month

  • KillingSpree8 KillingSpree8 (@KillingSpree8) reported

    @OhImLaughin Doubling a service over night is anti consumer af. What if u don't want game pass? What if you're a casual gamer that only buys Xbl for say 2k and cod and bought xbox one s as a budget console and now out of the blue your online charge is double. Online should be FREE anyways

  • PreparedDeath PreparedDeath (@PreparedDeath) reported

    @ChubbStuf @NordicWolfkin @Colteastwood Sadly your living in the past, I know that’s no excuse and you shouldn’t be penalised for it, but the reality is, an all digital future, and one we’re games are offered as a service not a commodity is rapidly approaching. I literally don’t own a single Xbox Disk now.

  • IHaveTrashMemes Walter (@IHaveTrashMemes) reported

    @Xbox I’m a huge Xbox fan but this price increase is just disgraceful. $120 a year for a horrible service? Cmon that’s bs

  • soldans85 Harry Alonzo Longabaugh (@soldans85) reported

    @XboxSupport It seems like the pagination of browsing the store on xbox app on pc is so slow so it seems broken.

  • Kizunato Tobias Berger (@Kizunato) reported

    @JFonzerrelli I don’t understand what the fuss is about. IMHO: you are a live gold member- no price hike for you. You are new to Xbox- you check what’s there and decide for the best for you service. Clear advantage push for gamepass sure but nothing bad. What am I missing here?
