Maybe I am just an old nostalgic fart but I have games that I own that are over 30 years old that I still have access to and regularly play and that's how I like it.
I personally don't at all see any benefit to the consumer that subscription based gaming provides. Arguably you can access more games for less money, but if video streaming is anything to go by (increased prices, less content across more and more services, ads creeping back in etc), that value proposition won't last long.
Yeah, I am sure it is! What is even more annoying is that I didn't even receive an email from Microsoft that it was happening (not sure if that was just me). I am sure it is illegal (or at least a breach) but I can't imagine how many likely costly hoops you would have to jump through to get them to honour the agreement.
I don't know if it counts but Red Dead Redemption introduced me to Liar Dice! Now I freakin' love Liar Dice!
I don't think there are that many bots here because of [reason 1], [reason 2], and [reason 3].

I am an alpha user who didn't realise I had to migrate my account until a couple of days after the cut off (I don't really follow what's going on in Minecraft these days) and am still peeved about it even though I haven't played in years! Sorry I can't help, but I can share in your frustrations!
For some people there are plenty of "reasons" not to - it doesn't mean that those reasons are good, valid or even make any sense in a lot of cases.
I am a plastic digesting mega organism apparently!
There are "fancy" (and of course expensive) places that specialise in high end cuts of meat - that serve fries as a standard side option.
This is similar to the allergy I have to layer below the earth's crust...
Stardew Valley was ambitious and look how that turned out!
I look forward to the future WiiUWiiU 🚨!
