    Games with Gold literally gave you ownership of a game. This is a subscription that gives you access to games. That’s more than a semantic difference and is a trend we have to be wary of.

      Did they? I was under the impression that the games you collect with Gold won’t start if your subscription runs out similar to PS+.

      No longer an xbox user but for what one would pay in a year on this it would be cheaper to just pick them up in the steam sales over time.
