Whoa. Did they finally hit the wall with increasing the price so high that their profits suffered?

Delaying aaa titles makes sense as a method to lower prices. It really cannibalized the purchase to own market I'm sure.

They got new leadership. I think they are also taking call of duty out of it from now on. I'm assuming all existing versions will stay but any future ones will be sold separately. That's just too big of a cost for them.

I really wanna like Xbox because Microsoft does some really cool things that are great for gamers. It's just they get this leadership that makes horrible decisions that end up tanking all their good work.

It's like everything they make a really unpopular move. Then take it back slightly but worse like their doing us a favor. It's still more expensive than before but now with less.

Maybe they should bring back the thing where we can turn in our rewards points for a free month also because I've been saving my rewards points for when my subscription expired and they took that deal out

They didn't get enough subs to make up for CoD being in it. So they lowered it to bring people back and hopefully increase CoD sales
