Xbox Changes Course On Live
***To keep the articles from getting cluttered with updates on the original story. Microsoft just announced that Xbox Live Gold would not see the changes listed in our previous article. So, no price increase, at least for now.***
Straight from Microsoft, nothing is changing on the Xbox Live Gold front now. Due to massive push back within 24 hours of the announcement that pricing was going to skyrocket.
What this means for Microsoft in regards to the "freebies" that Gold provides in the future? Now that is up in the air.
The price increase was largely seen as a move that would push people towards Game Pass. However, seeing the backlash the announcement got, apparently that is not what the larger fanbase wants.
