Should Xbox discontinue Xbox live gold subscriptions ?

The Xbox LIVE Family Pack has been discontinued. To continue with Xbox LIVE Gold subscriptions you must now purchase separate subscriptions for the accounts you want to be Gold Members.

I see where you're getting at buy even Silver members would be using a service that requires updates and resources. It's the price we pay to access the Live service and although it has its issues from time to time I would still say the Xbox servers are
stronger then the PS Network.

It's tough to be honest....

Should they stop it in order to make F2P games TRULY free to play?

Should we basically have to pay to play to play games we've already paid for?

Honestly I don't mind Xbox Live Gold because Microsoft is doing their upmost to make it worth our money (Game Pass Ultimate) I think it's fine as it is, I fully understand what you're getting at but as long as the service is worth what we pay for is it really
a problem?

As much as I would love free Xbox forever, I do not think that Xbox should discontinue Xbox live.

I think if they are providing us with a service then we, the consumer, should have to pay for it.

Although if they provided free online it would encourage a lot of PS players onto Xbox.

I think that gold is necessary. I remember when it was free to play playstation games online. The servers were a mess and the infrastructure was shoddy at best. I would hate for microsoft to switch to a free method and not maintain their servers or
upgrade them.
