Maybe they should actually bother adding all their games. I'd love to play the old zombies maps or games like Prototype from gamepass.

I bet no devs are left to fix bugs and compile those old games to new platform, so those are abandonwares.

The games are already on PC, it can't be too difficult to add them to another store, can it?

I bet they have some internal policy to install some kind of drm / spyware so you don't keep games when your game pass expires or something and that requires development work. Corporate legal things.

From what I have seen the gamepass DRM often goes haywire with new games on PC. Can't imagine it being easy to integrate into nearly 20 year old games.
