Holy shit, wasn't it like ten bucks before?
Ultimate was $20. Still an enormous price hike.
It was $15/mo before it's first price hike, too.
And before that, a lot of people were taking advantage of the Xbox Live Gold conversion deal, where folks were getting access to GamePass Ultimate for $60/year.
I once spent $180 for 3 years of GamePass, and now that same amount only gets you 6 months.
It was like 15 -> 20 and now to 30.
It was great at 15 because at that point 180 a year you could be sure to play 3 AAA games worth in a year. Doubling that is pretty ehhhh. You need to cycle through a ton of games to get your money worth there.
Hell I remember when it FIRST came out and it was like $1.
