    You can buy 100% of the games on gamepass. I fully expected gamepass to get more expensive over time but I’ll be surprised if Microsoft removes the ability to buy games. They seem perfectly happy to take your money however you’re willing to give it. I see their re-listing of games on steam as a sign they aren’t interested in killing game purchasing. Fully admit I could be wrong though.

      You could still buy all the movies when netflix first started picking up steam too.

      Getting harder and harder to do that now that streaming cancer has festered in allcthe major movie makers.

      Game pass is video game netflix.

      Then they disappear over generations. Nintendo has turned systems off already. Arcade games I bought on my 360 cannot be downloaded on my Series S.
