I'm not finding any useful information about this situation, so am turning to AVF for help.
The reason I'm asking is my partner's son would like to trade in his 360 S and get an Xbox One for his 11th birthday. The 360 has been great, thanks to a large catalogue of cheap pre-owned games, but he doesn't have a Live account, as I don't feel it's suitable for him, knowing what it's like regarding bad language and the like you can be subjected to in multiplayer.
I've nearly always had Gold myself, so don't know what it's like to use the 360 or X1 without it.
After Microsoft's infamous u-turn, how will he find the X1 compared to the 360 without Live Gold?
