That does sound like a pretty good deal. The thing is, it used to be a fantastic deal. And judging by the way they are acquiring multi billion studios and IPs left and right it’s clear as daylight that they want to monopolize the market and keep the subscription model for a long time, which means the deal will get ever worse. So yeah, this pricing change was definitely expected.

Didn’t mean to diminish your experience, sorry.

Yeah, I can see that and I do worry about how the ‘deal’ with over change and how frustrating it could be to have seen the deal diminish already
