I don't care how much they raise it, history shows they will.

They just have the sense not to act 1st and randomly.

I remember when this same argument happen with paying for online. Sony Stan's doing backflips about how ps plus was free.

Until it wasn't, then all of a sudden everyone "understood" why they had to pay.


This argument makes no sense and just serves to absolve Microsoft for putting the console market in this position in the first place on some "But they did it too" shyt.

If Sony do it they deserve to get clowned.

They took the price increase to 1st party games on the chin.

But something that effects a smaller demographic of a console they don't play:picard:

Early adopters usually have to take on the chin :ufdup:

2 - 3 months its a discounted price or next to nothing.

Charging for online was what Microsoft brought to the table. So I don't know what copying my argument was meant to establish. Sony did fukk shyt throughout their history you could better use to rebut, but every established way of getting gamers money online from paid online to horse armour levels or DLC abuse began with Microsoft. Good to see the tradition is still being defended. :rudy:

1st my off my 1st post was directed at Sony Stan's, if that's not you don't worry about it.

2nd

A price doubling is a price doubling doesn't matter if it's slowly over a couple years or all at once out the blue one is just more digestible... Especially if that's what I'll be consistently paying in the long run.


I'll use nextflix as an example of a company that price has literally doubled and they took features away and put them behind higher paywalls.

You either paid the same price for the same thing or less.... Unless you upgraded to the next tier.

Crunchyroll did this, hulu and Spotify...


And for the record I'm not for this, it's whack. But it's not something brand new with sub services, and people who were buying it 12 months subs good r xbl to save money are getting screwed

Towards stans or not, I disagree with your post.
I’m also saying your point about streaming services doesn’t work because those services had incremental increases over years while increasing the value (up for debate for some services) of their tiered product. M$ is literally doubling the price of their service suddenly with no added value to their product.

Most companies will increase the price of their service but they do this gradually. A sudden spike as this one shocks your user base and causes many people to abandon your product much more quickly. There is a whole psychology behind this and is taught in intro business courses in college, so it is really head scratching that M$ would do something like this so suddenly.
