Wait what? Xbox needs a subscription? To play the games you own? They are forcing you to prove your age to play adult video games now? Jesus Christ. We need to find workarounds for all of this, it's a privacy issue, and a property rights issue. We bought this stuff, it's ours. We can't be forced to ask for permission to use our own shit.
No, you don't. You can play the games you own just fine without one. They probably mean either the gamepass subscription or xbox live subscription.
