Games don't sit around for you to play hundreds of hours in gamepass.

3rd party games rotate out all the time.

Surely but you usually have plenty of time to complete them, and most of the big titles owned by Microsoft stay forever. So my point is stil relevant for the average joe there’s a good value in game pass with probably more game than he needs hence explaining why as the generational shift slowly occurs and the gamepass develop probably less and less people will find buying physical copy of a game a sensible thing to do

Probably. But not the continual replay 100 times as you claimed.

It depends when you sign up and a game is set to be removed from the platform. When I signed up to Games Pass to play Fallout 4 it was removed from the service about 3 days later so I couldn't complete it. I bought a physical copy in the end.

Obviously there’s some edge cases, but overall most people are very satisfied by this model no matter if it’s from xbox or playstation people will buy it.
