Nope. Minesweeper, too.

Well, the games are still free, the subscription is to remove the ads.

But you have to subscribe for each game separately, and it's a per-device subscription.

Yes, Microsoft really is that petty when it comes to nickel-and-diming users these days.

Can't believe anyone is subjecting themselves to this on their own free will.

This is so fucking insane that I don't even know where to start. I'm hoping that even this is a joke.

Well, you can have a subscription for switching a relay in your car, so that current flows from the battery to some wire, so that your seat heats up.

It's a sign of the times...
