12 month gone because Microsoft is getting greedy?

SkyRady · Aug 6, 2020

I think this while removing the 12 month renewal is ridiculous. The only reason I can think they would do this is to force us into monthly subscriptions. Why? Because Why would they want you to pay $60 for a year when they can have you pay $10 a month
and double their money!?

If this ends up being the case I will certainly be selling out and moving over to PC only.

I think it's weird that we have to go out to stores to go and get 12 month subscriptions... bad timing for them to do this considering the pandemic. Like I personally really don't want to risk my life for xbox live gold but maybe that's just me.

Gold isn't going anywhere at the moment https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-there-are-no-changes-being-made-xbox-live-gold-time

A 12 month sub will automatically get changed into a 4 month ultimate subscription unless you pick otherwise i believe.

As Stuart said,there's plenty of places online where you can still pick up a 12 month live sub & they're cheaper than buying directly from Microsoft the majority of the time.

I've been on xbox live since it began & only ever paid full price for a gold sub once when i first joined & even then that was for a xbox live starter kit which had a headset in it as well.

Without reading into all of this, the 12month can still be purchased and it is honored!!!

You don't think that perhaps, just perhaps the other option is that they may be dropping Xbox Live Gold requirement for multiplayer?

I mean I have no idea about this, but I was listening to a reputable podcast and they were discussing a case where a person had bought a 12 month Xbox Live Gold card at a store, and then when he put it on his account, his gold was renewed up to December
this year (or something like that) and then the remaining four months or so were changed over to Game Pass.

yeah it really sucks... I like to pay as little as possible.... But if you have xbox game pass AT ALL... they automatically switch your time to game pass ultimate.

Which is really dumb. I don't pay for 12 months just to have 3-4 months of content...

I always go for the xbox live gold 12 month.... But they actually took it away...

They are just getting greedy.. They never learn their lesson.
