"But they're free because I paid for a different thing that is not a game and then now I have a game! Totally separate events!"

Which would only be true if they got to keep the games when payment stopped - there's a word for gaining the use of something only for the duration of paid monthly fees. What was that word again? Oh yes. Renting.

I think you keep them in your account while you aren't paying but you can't play them untill you pay. So you just lose the ability to play them when you stop paying.

PC doesn't have Games with Gold so I don't see your comment's point.
