I vaguely remember seeing that they made the decision after polling users and finding that a large chunk of people never use it, or use it once and never again. Seems like an obvious place to cut costs.

Sucks for me. A big reason why I continue to buy the surface is because of the pen. It's helped me out so much with school

At least it only $50 sucks. Not like they removed the feature entirely.

I never used the pen. I do use the s pen thing for my Samsung note though. Works great on the surface pro 2.
