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.
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.

The enshittification of Xbox live has begun, as we all predicted it would when gamepass became a thing.
Enshittification of Xbox Live was day one of launch, dude. Online used to be free, nobody charged for it until Xbox did.
Personally I'm fine with this. It would be nice to get a refresh more often than "2 to 3 times a year" though...
