Microsoft just raised the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to $29.99/month, and fans aren’t happy. Many are canceling, some are calling for a boycott, and even Microsoft’s website is struggling to keep up.

Just cancelled my subscription and 365 subscription. $360 back in my pocket every year.

I need to try to cancel my 365 subscription to save money (and support the BDS campaign against Microsoft) but I'm so tied into it right now. But maybe your comment will be the motivation I need.

I will have to basically back up all my One Drive data somehow and get it down from the cloud, transfer the Word docs and PowerPoint slides I'm working on to another program, and check to see if I need to back up my One Note notebooks, too. It's so much work lol.

Do what you can, where/when you can. I thankfully just use it for photo backup which I can easily transfer to my server. So my cancellation was easier than it sounds like it would be for you.

Every little bit helps.

I just bought a hard drive to use as a plex server myself, so I have a feeling that will help. Although it'll mean less room for movies and shows lol.
