It seems they want to know their 'real' subscriber count for themselves.
After stopping the $1 upgrade conversion
Upping the price
And finally stopping the rewards points... They will know their true remaining subscriber count that actually wants to pay. Then they will see if it's viable in true terms.
Like duh. Those were promotions to get you okay Xbox. But now that you’ll play for Starfield and other upcoming exclusives (that I’ll believe when I see them), they don’t need promotional prices and discounts.
People obviously have never used the punch card before. While there were a few free challenges for a measly 5-10 points the ones worth the most points rewarded you for buying certain items in the Microsoft store. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that Microsoft didn’t see the value of keeping it up if everyone saw through the scam.
