Nothing has changed, despite the click bait headline. I’m the UK, Xbox will stop auto-billing a lapsed account. In the rest of the world, make sure you check your credit card statements.

Man in all honesty gamepass is so cheap it wont even both me if they increased the price by another 5 dollars lol.. I spend 14 bucks on a mcdonalds meal and gamepass definitely provides me with 100x more value then a mcdonalds meal :p

It was easy to turn off the auto renewal I do it all the time whether Playstation or Xbox.

Cool now do Gyms

Lmao! Okay government, now investigate yourself and your shit policy.

Honestly, it’s a good move. I’ve never had an issue with Auto-renew but it should be turned off by default. If you want it you should have to opt in.

Pretty sure that you could turn off auto renewal before this

Moved to pc over a year ago, used to play on a PS4pro and yeah they got me too with the auto renew for 12 months and it really irked me. I forgot all about my PlayStation in those months so when I checked my credit card statement I was a tad pissed off

That's why there 60 millions on Live, people are still paying since x360 era, believing is requirement to see netflix.

It's easy to turn off auto renewal, people must learn to read

Sirius XM should have to do this as well. You have to jump through loops to get that service canceled.

MS got me once or twice on automatic XBL renewals back in 2010 and 2011. I definitely didn't get it that payment auto renewal was by default back then.

I thought for sure theyd be announcing a "Family Plan" tier. But this is good news. I despise auto renew, especially when you redeem a code for the sub. More companies should follow suit. Auto renew should be something you have to explicitly approve.

phil spencer needs to be fired

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
