Nope… Some games will fail to start if the “main” server is down or some authentication server or whatever server it nowadays might depend on. So even if you install a game now and let it rest of years, the changes it will start again over 10 years is very low. I’m not even talking about multiplayer, since multiplayer will be definitively broken by then. And LAN features are no longer implemented by game devs.
I do agree that gamepass will only make matters worse.

Some games might work fine, I mentioned “some” game will fail. Especially if they require you to login first to some kind of auth. server.
