Xbox fans over on Twitter are calling for the end of Xbox Live Gold. Today, Microsoft revealed February’s Games With Gold lineup or, in other words, the “free” Xbox One and Xbox 360 games Xbox Live Gold subscribers are getting next month. Suffice to say, the very underwhelming lineup of Xbox games prompted some backlash, though not as much as you would expect as many Xbox Live Gold subscribers have been conditioned to be underwhelmed after months and months and months of lackluster offerings. That said, while the backlash has been a bit more tamed compared to the past, “Xbox Live” and “Xbox Live Gold” have been trending on Twitter all day, and some have used the opportunity to call for the end of the subscription service.
Xbox Live Gold as an artificial console-only online paywall remains to contradict everything Xbox does. Gold prevents the frictionless “anywhere” vision the brand is aiming for – and offering games like these only makes it even worse. Gold has no place in the Xbox ecosystem. https://t.co/B5vLxanUvF
Get rid of it already and fast track free Xbox Live multiplayer
I disagree, let Xbox Live Gold in peace, thanks.
Why get rid of It. Somepeople don’t want gamepass believe it or not. GWG is a great way to get Xbox 360 for free and discover AA games. The problem is every hardcore thinks that every service should give AAA or recognized games. How about devs game discovery or free bc games.
