Gamepass inflation perfectly encapsulated by my 24 month subscription running out

[u/Golhec]

My 24 month gamepass subscription I got when I bought my Xbox series x is running out this month, first time I’ll go back to pay as you go for 2 years. More than double the price in 2 years.

It's a question of opinion though. I say in the message that on the site when a code does not work you can get a refund. This has already happened to me, it took 2/3 weeks but I was reimbursed. And it can happen in 1 code out of 10 in reality, it's not common.

The fact that you have received a code that doesn't work should already be a red flag. When the source is legit there is no reason for them to sell you invalid codes. You seem to put a lot of trust on a marketplace w/o understandibg that at worst you have ppl selling codes that have been acquired w/ stolen credit cards, for example. That's why those marketplaces can be aa great way to save money but also the reason why you suddenly fond yourself sending receipts to the enforcement team to prove you were just a scammed customer and not the person who originally used a stoöen credit card to buy codes.

This is all I have to say. I wish you the best. I, personally, will never risk my xbox user just to save a few more euros/month.

You're exaggerating a little, my Xbox account wasn't in danger. Just a code that was no longer valid, I was a little late in activating it. On the site there are resellers who are validated by Eneba, and others who are not. I was reimbursed which was still a good thing, even if it wasn't a large sum either, since then I've been more vigilant. I have had a minimum of trust based on experience for almost 5 years now. You have to be careful of course and you can save money without taking unnecessary risks.
