Microsoft has no no reason to spike up the price, none.
And you know this how exactly? You have access to MS overhead/operational costs concerning XBL do you? You know just what they sink into it, and that it does't necessitate a subcriptions fee to maintain? The fact of the matter is that you know -blam!- aside from it costs an amount of money that you don't feel it should.*
Yea, it comes off as rather stupid that a paid service also has ads, but once again we don't know if the ads may be there to off-set another possible raise. Despite fanboy logic, Sony and Nintendo offering a free service (at a loss, I might add) is not an indicator that MS is ripping people off.
Ahhh, the "WHY DON'T YOU STEP IN THEIR SHOES!" statement. . . I love how people/fanboys use that to sympathize with anything. I don't know much but I know Activision/EA/Ubisoft/WheteverPublisher Inc give enough ($40,000) for a single update. Oh, I also know the fact Microsoft is one of the biggest corporations in the world. Infact with all the crap they are willing to develop, (Kinect/Windows Phone/Surface or whatever their tablet is). I'm pretty sure their original $50 met demands.
By the way, I never did say MS is ripping people off. A rip off is The War Z.
There's a difference between a reasonable increase compared to a "rip off".
