What for?
Niantic still seem to want to push this overpriced "Core" subscription, what exactly is the reason for it, other game companies such as Microsoft would be offering thousands of games for less than £7.99 per month (game pass) This is £100 per year. What additions would you like to see for your annual bill of £100? Or is this plenty for you to foot the bill? For Me there's no extra content provided for the extra money, just the option to buy items that I don't need to play. I'm interested what people's opinions are?

I think many would like see higher inventory increase. Its too much imo just for 500 extra space...
8 pounds? That's cheap.
I'm paying for almost double that in my local currency
@Shottix, the more Niantic squeezes you for money for their surviving AR game with the same content and does not provide an exciting gaming experience. It has been improved to collect portal scans so they can monetize this game.
I do it because I want to keep Ingress alive.
The extra 400 (and dwindling) inventory spots are a nice bonus.
Kinda like the family member who refuses to pull life support for their miserable loved one just so they can have more time with them.
Bit foolish to think that paying for core will keep ingress alive, I think it's more of a case of get everything out of people while they can. Personally I couldn't pay for a game that doesn't need a subscription to play and adds nothing other than extra space for the fee. There could be many more benefits but Niantic will just offer the bare minimum.
Glad I can note a DNR when you're on a machine. 👍
Why are you comparing the Game Pass to this? Apples and oranges. You can only stream the games to your phone, you still need a dedicated console to play the games. Much less, MS is acquiring a lot of franchises with their merger which can actually make MS change their price in the long run. It's no different than video streaming services which was $10 and now there's so many more services to where the median price is $15 if you still want no commercials.
Most likely unresolved issues with that family member, huh?
Doubling the inventory expansion should have been an easy fix when doubling the price. The actual cost of that storage is negligible in real terms because there are so few players now.
Because it offers so much more for the equivalent price, 7.99 for what's offered with core is ridiculous, and it's basically the same as the free version, famously being a "member" or a subscriber to a game should always unlock members only content
Provided you have a dedicated console or PC with specs that can run said games...
