F&*K, I was today is my last day this is probably going to make me turn on auto renew, shit.

Edit: Just a dumb rant about me caving in because they had to release this news today instead of tomorrow. I just hope this applies to everyone subbed world wide.

Summary

Edit: I caved because of that news and I hate myself right now, especially since I cancelling other subs to save money anyways. Freaking Microsoft coming up with a consumer friendly solution that being a long time member rewards you with some leeway for bit from their new pricing and doing it on my last freaking day of all times, why couldn’t they have put this news out tomorrow.

So that I could have said well shit and moved on with my life? Now I’m right back where I started with this whole thing damn it.

I was literally on my last day today and I would have preferred not knowing so that my sub would lapse and I wouldn’t cave in.

It’s a great month to still be subbed to be honest - can always re-visit your decision in the new year!

If they don’t charge me the new price I’m unlikely to change my mind and start buying cheap core/standard yearly to keep me subbed until I forget about it and go back to being a monthly user again.

Which is when they will charge me 30 and I’m going to be disappointed in myself for being so easily played. But like I said, I hope this applies for everyone world wide that’s on Ultimate.

That just sucks, I really hope this is something that gets applied to everyone, that maybe they haven’t coordinated enough to send it out to all countries.

It will only last as long as the law requires prior notice, sadly.

I wonder which countries this is for?

Hmm I see. I believe my brother bought it on a website last year or so, and I think ours ends next year or 2027. Once that happens and we were to buy from MS it would be 30 euros?

Yeah, me too. It’s not mine. I found this on GAF in a thread.

Yeah imagine same as me then, that it’d be the higher price once the stacking runs out.

But just keep stacking lol, that’s my plan

Same here in Greece, we don’t have the cloud and the rewards benefits/perks but the price is still 27e which makes it even harder to justify the price raise here. :man_shrugging:

Guess it’s time to go back to Fansubs again.

That website is so full of shit they literally banned all the Palestinians off it because they were “killing the vibes” during election time. For the longest too they were literally banning people and locking threads that had anything to do with the genocide outside of the dedicated thread. I ain’t forget that bullshit fuck that website.

Looks like it’s best for me to turn on recurring billing. Cheaper then the cdkeys/eneba route

I don’t know if this will work but why not buy a digital code from Amazon at the old price and see if it will line up with the old plan if you turn on recurring billing then.

thanks EU :+1:

i turned recurring billing back on for my account and got Ultimate for 18€. Lets see how long this lasts. Will pay it with my rewards balance.

Speaking of fansubs, next Xbox should have AI translation overlay ability - it could make some games more accessible to more people, as not every game gets localized into every market Xbox is being sold on, check off on Satya’s insatiable desire for pushing more AI, and most importantly, trigger all the right people in the industry.

I’m surprised this isn’t already a thing. Automatic machine translation far predates this latest “AI” push. Microsoft edge has it, emails have it, YouTube has it for audio, any of the translator apps, and whatever else. A feature like the latest live translate platform wide for all games on the Xbox would be neat. Not a replacement for official localization, but neat and great for those who want to play a game that doesn’t officially support their language for one reason or another.
