So they finally did it? Last time they wanted to increase the Xbox live price, people went crazy. Now they rename it and throw some games you might never play and raise the price to 10€.

That's a lot. Imagine how gamepass will look like in ~5years if it becomes really big. Sold my Series X some weeks ago since I was never using it. I was almost exclusively playing on my PC.

The price of Game Pass Core is the same as the current price of Xbox Live Gold. This is basically a rebranding exercise (and the long-expected culling of Games With Gold).
