You don't need a sub service to kill off physical media, the progression of technology will do that for us. Before GamePass was a thing, digital sales were climbing and climbing. The PC market has been dominated by digital for a long time now. Consoles are going that route. Next time you're in Walmart or Target or Best Buy, check out the tiny tiny music CD sections. Games will hit that mark eventually.
The difference between GamePass and physical or buying a digital copy is that I don't expect to be able to play the game forever. I'm aware it can go away. When I buy DLC for a GamePass game, I know if the game leaves the service, I'll have to buy it or lose access to that DLC. It's part of the package.
Regarding chopping up games to sell in chunks, that's another thing that started long before GamePass. And GamePass doesn't make it easier to do this or anything, GamePass games are all available outside of the service. Why would MS allow publishers to put incomplete games on their service? Doesn't make sense.
