Games with Gold literally gave you ownership of a game. This is a subscription that gives you access to games. That’s more than a semantic difference and is a trend we have to be wary of.
From the markers of Xbox, Xbox One and Xbox Series, get the best deal of gaming with GamePass Core, GamePass Console, GamePass PC and GamePass Ultimate!

I wonder how long before a triple A game on PC has paid online, and which publisher will do it. 80€ for the game, 45€ for the season pass, 15€/month for online, 5€ for each additional multiplayer map, 2€ for each character skin.

If accessible multiplayer is the metric, then the closed system of Steam makes it a poor recommendation. The cross-platform Epic Online Services available to any developer and store is better.
Then conversely, Steam offers the Big Picture mode making it easier to navigate for those used to consoles, though the beauty of PC is that you can use both and for free.

The enshittification of Xbox live has begun, as we all predicted it would when gamepass became a thing.
As long as they don’t change my $60/yr price point, I’m ok with it. I never really played too many of the games with gold games anyway.
Oh boy just you wait.
Lmao, I’m sure I won’t have to wait long either. Subscriptions tend to climb unfortunately. I used to pay $10/mo for netflix, what’re we at now? Like 16-18?
I think it’s like 20 something now actually, but that may be because I have the 4k one or the more screens one, whatever idk. My wife needed it. Being a PC guy I’m still of the opinion charging for multiplayer is dumb anyways, it’s pretty cool it’s been the same price for like 20 years though.
Enshittification of Xbox Live was day one of launch, dude. Online used to be free, nobody charged for it until Xbox did.
Look we’re not going to have this argument, it’s been had a billion times on the internet. I’m a PC guy, paying for online is dumb. But a lot of people do and the service they get from it is going to be getting worse and more expensive in the future.
