“I don’t remember asking you to start gouging me $30 a month” — players drown video about new Xbox Game Pass model in dislikes

The video opens by claiming the company listened to player feedback — but commenters are puzzled about who exactly asked for a 50% subscription price hike.

Microsoft published a clip about the revamped Xbox Game Pass and its features, but viewers have overwhelmingly downvoted it. The backlash followed the company’s decision to significantly raise subscription fees on October 1 — the Ultimate tier jumped 50% to $30 per month.

At the time of writing, the video has around 23,000 dislikes and nearly 7,000 likes.

Commenters point out that the video never mentions the price increase. People are also confused by the opening line: “We heard your feedback.”

What is this supposed to be my “feedback”? When did I ever ask for the subscription price to be raised?

I don’t remember ever asking for a 50% hike in the subscription price.

I was starting to think this would be my last generation of Xbox. Thanks for helping me make that decision.

I paid for Xbox Live faithfully for 20 years. I’ve canceled and moved to PC.
