Why is there a price increase in Office 365 annual subscription? Am I getting some new stuff? I'm in Malaysia.

Why does Microsoft increase the prices by almost 50%??

I see no new benefits for the end user.

Please clarify why and how this price increase is legal?

I'm considering cancelling my subscription for this exact reason.

Kind regards,

On behalf of your community,

Hi MS Support,

Waiting for your response for 30% price increase when the Inflation Rate is only 2.9%.

Kindly clarify the 'Pressing Need' for the Price Increase, especially for those who may NOT need or may NOT want the Co-Pilot or AI writer. It does NOT add to the writing skills and it needs LOT of correction.

The Co-Pilot actually adds to the time spent to write a document or a letter or anything.

There should be an Option to Not get Co-Pilot for cheaper original price.

Well done MS, You just lost a lot of customers. Randomly noticed when checking family license and next charge is £105 from £80. That's a massive increase. A jog on increase, I literally only use Outlook anyway so I'll find an alternative.

Hey Microsoft,

Care to respond to my inquiry instead of staying silent? I never expected such a lousy response from a company like yours.
What the hell is going on?
You don't even have the guts to respond to my pending inquiry. I'm running out of patience with this issue.
Agent Jomz! You're really making me angry and pissed off.

30% increase in USA but 50% increase rest of the world? That is blatant discrimination.

As for the statement "The official price of the product will be adjusted according to the per capita purchasing power of different regions:" I take this to mean there is no real reason to charge more but for countries theythink people can afford to pay more they will charge accordingly! So Microsoft is not charging on a perceived value of the product (which is debatable as the comments here show) but on their perception of people's capacity to pay more. Either way it is a cynical grab for cash,
