Not that I really care since I bought Witcher 3 on day 1, and wouldn't play a DRM infested version (UWP makes modding a major headache, among other things) anyway... but I read the original German article and don't see anything about Witcher 3 on Gamepass.
It just sounds like they're making a much more robust version of "Add non-Steam game..." crossed with Discord functionality. Some plugins for other digital distro platforms will be official, like MS Store. Others will still work through unofficial plugins, maybe with some features missing. Cool, I suppose, especially since CDPR isn't overrun by SJWs like Discord is, but not really what I'd call major news.

$19.99 for 3 month gamepass. As I said in the first post though, once you convert to ultimate you can't go back and you should stack up as much as you can (3 years max) BEFORE you convert so you have 1-3 years of ultimate.

The offer to convert to gamepass ultimate expires in a few days, its one of the best gaming deals in a long time ($40-60/yr for something that costs $180). could be even better if xCloud gets folded into ultimate when it is announced this fall.
i listed it in OP but the best thing to do is build up 12-35 months of games with gold ($40-60/yr) THEN convert, you will get full amount of ultimate which is basically doubling your spent money. even better if you have tons of microsoft reward points or sony rewards or samsung etc to get it "for free".

Should we generic up the title of this thread a little and have just one for updates to Origin / UPlay+ / Game Pass (and later perhaps Stadia, Xcloud, etc) ?

Yeah, I already own so much of their library, it's hard to justify for just the catalog. I am interested enough in their regular releases though to give a shot for now.
This would be the first sub I drop if gaming time or interest decreases, just less value than Origin / Game Pass for me. Interested in what the partnership w/ Stadia brings, too.
