"Whether or not theyre actively talking about it right now, I dont know, but they still have it on a roadmap saying Xbox Live Gold will be dropped at some point in the future'."

Locking online multiplayer behind a paywall was a shitty practice back when the Xbox 360 first started doing it, and it's still a shitty practice today. It was introduced on the first Xbox. Back when games still used server lists. They got away with charging because they basically set the current standard for modern online gaming. Universal accounts that carried across several games weren't even a thing until Xbox.
