TL;DR It's gonna be $61 per device for the first year, that then doubles in 2026 and 2027 to $244/device. Meaning the total cost is $427... 
Prices are only shown for businesses but details of consumer pricing “will be shared at a later date” but it'll probably be still around like half the price. Here's hoping my copy of KMS can grab Windows updates locked behind a paywall.
Further reminder to me to just jump to Linux Mint on my main PC soon since most of my workflow relies on open source software already and the games I play are all supported natively or via Proton.
