Microsoft price hikes across the system.

Ayup Microsoft...

just a word to say how annoyed I am at the price hike to renew my Microsoft XBL Gold Ultimate game pass and therefore all my microsoft services including one drive, the truncated Office 365 service and so on and so forth.

Like everyone else sucked into using hitherto free microsoft programme features and now converted to services over the years, I now need XBL to access Twitch and my online games and communities, play my games. I need onedrive to save my pictures across my devices, to download to an external drive, and have been bullied into having to use the truly awful Windows 10 against my will, which has slowed my PC down to an absolute crawl and worse. Pain in the backside extra security measures have also caused me to lose the use of my old long-term primary email address, which has caused me unbounded hassles across online everywhere in ways that you wouldnt believe. Along with call centre staff that bail at the slightest provocation.

So thanks. I can’t wait until something, anything, better comes along and I can ditch you.

Well, glad I don't live in the UK... For my Xbox brothers from another mother across the pond, you have my condolences.

I wasn't talking about shipping costs per-se... But that there's a greater perception of import/sales tax on physical goods that have been shipped as opposed to digital content.... Which obviously is not.

Here's just one example to back up my points... Albeit it's about steam pricing, but it can be applied across the board.

Either way it's not right.
