Game pass day 1 releases going away except for the most expensive tier was absolutely inevitable and it's the clearest possible sign - now that microsoft has finished their consolidation and has activision on board, it's time to stop giving big releases away and focus on profit margins.
I'd say expect a reality-setting-in period as game pass slowly morphs into a service focused on cheap first-party backlog access and fewer external games. The time of belt-tightening has arrived

User bigsocrates is starting a new series on Giant Bomb wherein they look at the smaller titles on Game Pass and starts things off with Bramble: The Mountain King!
Have any of you played this side scrolling horror game from Dimfrost Studio?
I gave Still Wakes the Deep a try... eh.
98% of the game is egregious levels of yellow paint sign posting, "flash the button to avoid the fail state", and following strictly linear paths. Nothing you do has agency or feels satisfying.
The other 2% are "run from creature" sections. The problem is that the first time this happens they don't teach you the game logic or give you an environment to learn in. So I just sorta kept moving where I thought was forward, didn't die, and then went back to the other 98%.
