MS clearly is pushing gamepass hard with promotions to gain a big user base and the value they are offering at this point is extremely good, so imo everyone should take advantage. However MS is not a charity, they want this model to make them more money in the long run than the traditional way of selling games and it remains to be seen how they'll go about achieving that in the future.

No doubt currently its not sustainable....  alot of that is probably due to promotions though.
1$ for gamepass is too little for it to be profitable.... its to grow the user base.

Once it becomes popular enough, they ll start hikeing the price up in steps.

Game pass Ultimate is what they will look to push. They sign deals with indie games in there to last awhile and put their content in. Their games anchor the service and they generate ongoing revenue from the subscription. They can do a mix of games, including older titles, multiplayer focused, midtier indie stuff and base games that you buy DLC for.

What I want to see a push for and one of my eSports project is to run a league of competitive play for all content in subscription service. Appeal to general gamers as a test of skill.
