엑스박스, 클라우드 게임 월 15시간으로 제한

Did you know that games can live in the cloud? You don't need a game disk or a powerful console. You just need the internet.

Xbox offers a service called Game Pass. It is like Netflix for video games. You pay money each month. Then you can play many games on your computer, phone, or TV. The games run on Xbox's computers far away. You only see and control them on your screen.

Now Xbox made a big change. They said that cloud gaming has a new limit. Players can only play cloud games for 15 hours each month. After that, they cannot play until the next month starts.

Why did Xbox do this? The company said cloud gaming costs a lot of money. Each time you play, Xbox's computers work hard. They use electricity. They send pictures to your home very fast. This is expensive. Xbox says the new limit helps them save money. With less cost, they can make the games run faster and better.

Some players are unhappy. They liked playing as much as they wanted. Fifteen hours is not very long. If you play one hour each day, you reach the limit in two weeks. Other players do not play every day, so the limit does not bother them.

This is a real business problem. Services need money to stay alive. But players want good service for a fair price. Maybe Xbox will find a better answer soon.

What do you think? Is 15 hours enough time for you each month?
