The bundle includes five games so perhaps a one-off £7.95 would be acceptable, but I don’t think people who have been playing Solitaire free for 25 years really want to pay that much every year in perpetuity. In the UK, the Solitaire Collection costs £1.19 per month or £7.95 per year. Third, the pricing for ad-free versions looks too high. There’s nothing wrong with having a gamertag, and serious gamers love them, but they should be optional for casual gamers. Second, running a casual game like the Microsoft Solitaire Collection Premium Edition lumbers you with an Xbox Live gamertag. The basic free version should still be free and ad-free. First, introducing a new freemium game is not the same as taking a game that’s been free for decades and making it freemium.

Having said all that, I don’t think this is a smart move on Microsoft’s part, for three reasons.

That’s what happens when people don’t want to pay for content. Companies don’t charge for the games, but they charge to remove advertisements or to add extra features. This is almost always the case with free store-based apps whether on Windows, Android or Apple’s iOS. These Microsoft games are still free, but they now include adverts.
