Either that, or someone did this without leadership's knowledge.

Wow, genuinely shocked at this. I did not expect them to backtrack on this the same day they announced it.
Awesome they're dropping Gold for F2P games too.

I think that was coming regardless and just got delayed because halo was delayed
admittedly, in big companies, this does happen. sometimes decisions get stalemated, and the consensus becomes let's do x and make sure we can still quickly prepare for doing y.
If anything they should've announced this at the start of Xbox series s / x
a random day in January was pretty dumb
good that free to play games don't require gold now

Its tough to get over? There was nothing to get "over" and yet they get everyone talking about Microsoft
Good news but there's a tinge of sadness to this display. Price hikes aren't a whim. They are deliberated extensively. They knew backlash was possible. Or they are extremely stupid. Not sure what's worse.
The backlash wasn't there cause there were tons of people trying to justify it.
reeks of bootlicking so you can continue to carry water for your favorite company
The back track was too fast they could have weathered the storm
him and his thread are still pathetic as fuck but at least we got something good out of it lol.
Finally too that Gold isn't required for F2P.
It reeks of bootlicking to believe a company could be split on an idea?
I forgot companies were single homogenous hive minds.
A random day in January when everyone is home cause of a global pandemic when a lot of people lost jobs due to it. What were they expecting lol
I was seriously thinking of selling my Xbox after my gamepass sub expires too. This is do strange. Like if you want to increase the price of gamepass, if understand. But doubling the price of Gold was insane.
I know the price is back to normal and F2P games are now truly F2P, but this was so weird.

I actually think it would've gone mostly unnoticed....
Not now though.
Haha, are they really saying that they thought doubling the price of Gold was in the best interest of their consumers?
Good shit, happy that I'll soon be able to stop buying XBL Gold for my little bro as all he plays is Fortnite/Roblox on his Xbox.
all the rumors' previously match they ended up on
The details of what the original announcement didn't actually make sense vs Game Pass
But they get a full day of advertising
But who knows...
The got loads of bad PR for no reason and some people always remember this stuff.
The 180 was fast but i xbox one must has flash in there minds .
