FTC Blasts Xbox Game Pass Price Increase and New Tiers as 'Product Degradation'
The FTC blasted the Xbox Game Price increases in a new filing, describing the new Standard tier as "product degradation" and claiming that the increases are inconsistent with its arguments from last year's trial.

I like "Product Degradation" way better than "enshittification".
Nice to see an official sounding term for it honestly. It's a scourge these days.
I'm so tired of the "e" word. Most of the people tossing it around, like the commenter up above, apparently don't even know what it actually means.
Here's a tip: It doesn't refer to something that got more expensive and / or moved services around in existing tiers like MS did with GamePass. You can read Cory's Book or check out the wikipedia page for the actual definition. Go read one of them and then Stop abusing the fucking term!
Yeah people really enshitified the meaning of the word /s
