I noticed. Had the rental in my head while discussing. I am not entirely against a rental model, but then it has to be marketed as such and not a mixture of “bad Game Pass” deal with a rental in its heart. The problem with this is, that each game cannot be treated equally. This is from gamers perspective (games are not equally long, exciting or special, whatever) and from Microsofts perspective (deals have different value per game). I wouldn’t be against a model that completely commits to the rental idea.

Another thing to be careful is, to not make changes where the users and people “feel” as if they got a worse deal than before. These updates do not exist in a vacuum. Regardless of how it works, if it looks like they suddenly loose access to all games, its a problem.
