Netflix used to be cheap and look where we are now. Give it a few years and Game pass will suffer the same fate.

They already have cut benefits and raised prices. I expect more price raises in the coming years

They went up from $15 to $17 or so; the small single digit shift does kind of make me think they've eyed the big "2-0" as the price point where a lot of people might reconsider.

I'm certainly considering the benefit of it each month, and so far I've consciously decided to keep it. If it's ever poor value like Netflix, it's going (that said, Netflix has introduced enough shows that I have weighed whether to resubscribe)

They used to under 10, and sharable, now for me and 3 family members its 51 dollars...

Oh, I guess I was referring to Ultimate. I don’t think regular one-system pricing has gone up yet, it’s still $10. I’m just going for Ultimate for other perks.
