I purchased an Xbox Series X out of some misplaced sense of nostalgia for the 360 and because I needed a 4K player. At the time you could still do the trick where you load up on Xbox Live Gold and then convert it to Game Pass Ultimate cheaply. I signed up for it and then made absolutely sure to disable any autorenewing settings everywhere I could. I remember seeing something to the effect of “Your subscription will expire 2/2026 and will not renew. At the time I still trusted Microsoft a little, but I made sure to use a one time use credit card number, just in case. Lo and behold, I just got this email: Conveniently for those liars and cheats at Microsoft, somehow in the intervening three years autorenew got turned back on. Oopsie whoopsie sowwy 👉👈! I don’t know how this isn’t outright fraud.
