    I hear ya. I’m still adjusting to paying over $100 Canadian for a new game 💸💸💸. At least on the switch I can set my province to Alberta to save some taxes.

      Game pass has been a savior for me in regards to that. With how expensive cost of living is right now buying new games aren’t at the top of the list unfortunately.

        They’re increasing the price of game pass as well. Hopefully not too much in your area, 10% in the States.

          Does the conversion trick still work? I should top off before it increases if it does

            I couldn’t tell you. I think you can get a year pass right now and it’ll put off the price increase for that time. I wish they’d let current subscribers keep going at the current price (grandfather), but I think Microsoft wants the money what with trying to acquire actishiton-(corpse puppet of)blizzard.

              Yeah being grandfathered in would be nice, they definitely won’t do that though lol. I’ll just top up now to avoid the increase a while longer.
