I have just received notification from Microsoft that my Microsoft 365 Personal Subscription is going to increase by a whopping 45.87%! surely this has to be a scam, right or as a pensioner and an avid user of Microsoft products for in excess of 25 years, am I being ripped off by Microsoft?

    I don’t think Microsoft have supplied an adequate rationale for the 46% increase in our Excel subscription. It feels like gouging to us and a very unfair “loyalty tax”. We’re giving them one more chance to give a reasonable rationale otherwise we take this to the ACCC (Australia’s consumer affairs watchdog).

    Yes I agree, that “price gouging” has become rampant through many industries. I have been a loyal customer of Microsoft for over thirty years now & I do not believe they are ready to listen to their customers. Unfortunately the ACCC is seen by many as a toothless tiger when it comes to taking action.

    What a poor and most likely an automated response. Hasn't at all addressed the question of the outrageous price increase...If if it was a human response then Pyke.D may well have a career in politics.

    I just received the email - mine is increasing from $109.99 to $159.99 - for what?? $50 more is ridiculous! Anything MS can do, so can google. They’ll lose heaps of customers over this. Myself included. What am I going to use bloody AI for?
