“We screwed up today”: Microsoft changed its mind to raise prices in response to user complaints

Microsoft yesterday announced a price hike for its Xbox Live Gold subscription. After receiving numerous negative reviews from “grateful” users, the company backpedaled.

On the official Xbox blog and social media, Microsoft posted a message admitting the error. The blog post can be translated something like this:

We screwed up today and you were right to let us know. Chatting and playing with friends is a vital part of the game, and we haven’t been able to meet the expectations of gamers who count on it every day. As a result, we decided not to change our Xbox Live Gold pricing. ”

In addition, Microsoft has promised to provide free multiplayer in shareware games (like Fortnite or Apex Legends). In them, multiplayer will no longer require an Xbox Live Gold subscription. True, this innovation is not launched immediately, it will be implemented “as soon as possible in the coming months.”
