    I already don’t like Microsoft or its products, but how in the Holy Fuck is that legal? You can’t at least use the edge on Xbox for that same functionality?

      I had a sub once to something, can’t remember what, but they forced me to call them to cancel.

        I recently had to call AT&T to cancel their internet service when I was moving. There’s a link on their website that supposedly leads you to an unsubscribe option but in reality it just leads you to a broken page. I mentioned this while on the phone with the agent and he said “yes that’s correct you have to call us to cancel” like it was standard procedure.
