Lol, so apart from Xbox fans, who’s said it helps gaming?…
Kinda depends on the game. An IP as strong as COD dropping day one, is better suited sometime after since they are a currently a 3rd party. Game like Outriders heavily benefited, unfortunately SE did give them the support they needed to keep up and players dropped it shortly after including paid players.

Indies on Gamepass are the worst deal. You could be buying them on deep discount and own forever. Imagine continuing to subscribe to Gamepass because your Hollow Knight save is there. On a 50+ hour game you can buy for $15.

I'm sorry, what? Surely GP (not xCloud Steaming games) savedata carries over to purchases? That savedata keeping was around for XBLA/Demos and then purchasing the full game.

I assume it does, but you'd be a fool to buy anything via the Windows Store. afaik it won't transfer to Steam
