In a statement posed to Xbox Wire, Microsoft says: “We messed up today and you were right to let us know. Connecting and playing with friends is a vital part of gaming and we failed to meet the expectations of players who count on it every day. As a result, we have decided not to change Xbox Live Gold pricing.” Additionally, free-to-play games will no longer need a Gold subscription to be played online via Xbox.
