Ulrich :mastodon:<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@Xboxmedia" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>Xboxmedia</span></a></span> Die Frage ist, warum <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Microsoft</span></a> das vorher nicht klar kommuniziert hat. Erst als die Server mit Kündigungen in die Knie gegangen sind? Den üblen Nachgeschmack hat aber Microsoft, denn die meisten haben den <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Gamepass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gamepass</span></a> voll gekündigt. Und sind somit komplett weg. In der Regel für immer. Vielleicht auch weg von der <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Xbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Xbox</span></a>. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Sony" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sony</span></a> braucht nichts zu tun, Microsoft zerlegt die Xbox ganz von alleine.</p>

Meine Reaktion: Auf Essential für 8,99€ gewechselt.<br>Bei der Gelegenheit das Abo für MS Office (99€ im Jahr) gekündigt und auf <a href="https://die-partei.social/tags/LibreOffice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LibreOffice</span></a> umgestiegen.<br>Und gleich noch das Foto-Abo bei Adobe (Photoshop + Lightroom für 23,79€ im Monat, war auch mal deutlich günstiger) gekündigt und auf <a href="https://die-partei.social/tags/Gimp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gimp</span></a> umgestiegen. </p><p>Fazit: Monatlich 41,04€ weniger an Ausgaben.</p>

AA<p>It's too bad Microsoft doesn't want to acknowledge that the Xbox travails over the past few years are the result of bumbling executive decisions.
