"Windows 12 is now included with game pass ultimate "
If they launch a subscription that includes ad-free Win12, Office, OneDrive and GamePass for like $20 a month, a lot of people would actually be happy about the change. Especially if the base version of Win12 was free with ads.
Then once people are happy with how good the deal is, they start raising the price and removing things that were once included.
Its the classic slow boiling frog, slowly raise up the temps until its fully cooked
*200$
I am on Game Pass Ultimate right now because I got a free trial month, which I am using to play Starfield. I have 18 days left on it, after which I intend to cancel the subscription and wipe Windows out of my life forever.
Spend your remaining 18 days playing Lies of P instead. Or TMNT Shredders Revenge. Or Arcade Paradise. Or Exoprimal if you wanna get wild.
