Original Note:
While Microsoft has increased prices of Game Pass as of July 2023, it was before ATVI closing stock to merge with the company. Price hikes of games/consoles fall in line with PlayStation and other game publishers. No evidence of this being the result of the merger. https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/microsoft-insists-game-pass-prices-will-not-increase-as-a-result-of-activision-merger/ https://www.cnbc.com/2022/08/25/sony-raises-price-of-playstation-5-console-due-to-soaring-inflation.html#:~:text=Sony%20hikes%20the%20price%20of%20its%20PlayStation%205,the%20price%20of%20the%20PS5%20in%20the%20U.S. https://www.ign.com/articles/pay-more-to-play-why-video-game-prices-could-rise-in-2023
