Rumors appeared on the network that Microsoft getting ready to do online multiplayer games on consoles Xbox free. On the serious discussion in the company of the rejection of the current model Xbox Live Gold several sources report at once.
“Yes, I heard about it. I will not confirm anything now, but everything is very similar to the truth,” – said the editor of the publication VentureBeat Jeff Grubb host of the podcast Crossfire, when asked to comment on rumors of free multiplayer.
Insider Klobrille, which specializes in leaks from Microsoft and was one of the first to announce the affiliation of the studio Obsidian Entertainment to the team Xbox, wrote on the forum ResetErathat paid multiplayer will fall. The question is when.
“The question is not whether Microsoft will refuse a paid multiplayer, but when will this happen,” the insider said in a correspondence with users.
Klobrille disagreed with the idea that Xbox Live Gold could be part of the $ 9.99 / month Xbox Game Pass subscription.
“Xbox Live Gold is an artificial barrier that prevents the creation of a single ecosystem between consoles, PCs and the xCloud cloud service. A significant increase in the cost of admission to the multiplayer world will only worsen the situation and practically kill the Microsoft online console base,” he wrote.
Earlier, Microsoft removed from its official website the opportunity to issue an annual subscription to Xbox Live Gold. Soon after, there were rumors about the imminent introduction of free multiplayer.
Interestingly, it was Microsoft that was the first company to start asking players for money to play online. This model was eventually adopted by Sony and even Nintendo. As part of the subscription, users periodically receive free games.
