Xbox confirmed the date in a new post detailing its new Xbox Game Pass additions for the month of August, which includes Airborne Kingdom, Limbo, and Broforce Forever, the action-packed side-scrolling run ‘n’ gun game from developer Free Lives and publisher Devolver Digital. Total War: Warhammer III is another title that will be leaving PC Game Pass this month.

I tend to agree, console vendors should build in the subscription service as it exists into the console experience. Maybe a slight premium for it. But only have games that rotate through it for 3-6 months at a time and bill it as a 'try before buy' feature.
Heck if they did that and made the base cost like 5 bucks a month and included some other value add... that would make sense to me.
Then if a game maker had a game with a lot of post purchase value to be extracted they could flip a bit at the end of their try period to make those with x amount of purchases in their game shops just keep the game. Because clearly they are more valuable to have in the game than loose it and they have a sunken cost fallacy in the game already.
