    If they actually bundled a game pass subscription with it and made a proper Microsoft complete subscription they could have softened the bad press they’re getting on this (and giving customers something they’ve wanted for a while)

    That and the fact that they’ve nearly doubled the price of the subscription to add a limited credit based feature just looks pretty slimy

      bundled a game pass subscription

      Most of the money MS gets from Office365 is from business users, not home users. I have a feeling that trying to sell game pass to corporate clients isn’t going to be a huge hit…

        Sure and it would be silly to mess with the professional tiers

        But personal and family subscriptions are fairly squarely positioned towards non-business users as their main demographics, from what I can see.
