Microsoft Increases Price of Xbox Live Gold to $60 for 6 Months
That's a 100% increase in some cases.
Microsoft has officially increased the price of Xbox Live Gold. It used to be that you could get an entire year of Gold for just $60 (USD). Now, you get just six months of Gold for $59.99. This makes a year of Xbox Live Gold as much as $120, or double what it used to be not that long ago.
Other price increases include the three-month plan for $29.99 (USD), and one-month is now $10.99. These price increases will impact new and lapsed...

The European Commission has fined Valve and five publishers a combined total of €7.8 million for a breaching of antitrust rules.

Total Gaming Network's Top Games of 2016
2016 was one hell of a year for all the wrong reasons. Due to the always wonderful Electoral College, The United States elected a white supremacist backed jackass as the president elect for the next four years. Hell, the entire election was an unquestionable train wreck for everyone involved. The Internet turned a tragedy into a terrible meme after a gorilla had to be put down at the Cincinnati Zoo. A young boy was killed by an alligator at Walt Disney World. There has been an increase in hate cri... -
