Joystiq:
"If your best friend, a person who has saved your life countless times (often in super-cool, action movie fashion), was sucked into hell, would you go after them? Of course not, that's ludicrous. That poor schmuck is on their own. But you're not Johnny Gat, resident murder-happy antihero of the Third Street Saints. When Johnny's best pal is pulled into the netherworld, he jumps in after him, guns blazing. Through bat-winged demons, flaming monster trucks and historically questionable playwrights, Johnny will do whatever he can to save his friend, especially if it involves punching Satan in the face."
James writes - Out with the old and in with the new; that’s generally how it works in regards the Xbox Game Pass library and now it’s time to go over the titles on the verge of exiting the service. Could one of your favourite games be leaving Xbox Game Pass in September?
Matilda Castilla EX Cursed Castle
Saints Row: Gat out of Hell
The Bug Butcher

I was wondering about getting this. When a game leaves gamepass but I still have it downloaded, does it become deactivated and unplayable?
Got some answers for you off the Xbox Game Pass FAQ:
If I download a game, will it be deleted if it leaves Xbox Game Pass or my subscription cancels/expires?
Your space is your space. Games will not be deleted from your hard drive until you want them gone, even if they have rolled out of the Xbox Game Pass catalog.
If I download a game, can I access it after it leaves the catalog?
Once a title leaves the Xbox Game Pass catalog, you will need to insert a disc, purchase a digital copy from the Microsoft Store, or obtain another form of entitlement (like a trial) to continue playing. Remember, Xbox will notify users prior to a game leaving the Xbox Game Pass catalog. And, as a member, you can purchase any Xbox One game in the Xbox Game Pass catalog for up to 20% off (or the best available discounted price) to continue playing a game once it leaves the catalog. Xbox Game Pass discounts are not combinable with other offers and are not redeemable for cash; discount offers exclude titles within 30 days of launch; discounts based on Microsoft Store price.
Yeah an alert will pop up saying you dont own the game and ask you to either insert the disc or buy a digital copy.
Im a complete Sony fanboy that only pays attention to mostly Sony and even I see when they add games to the service. Gotta open your eyes man.

there were multiple articles about this on n4g and every other month
We cover both removals and additions, and I do see a lot of people covering the new inclusions each month.
Because you aren't properly watching the news when they add games maybe? Here on N4G the news of games leaving gets more notice (heat) simply because some people imagine that it is a slight of GamePass that they can focus on.
The licenses run out.... MS has to negotiate the length and payment, etc before adding 3rd party titles.
It could be low demand.
How it works is each game has a time for the license of Microsoft being able to provide it via Gamepass. If people don't download them enough for Microsoft to keep paying those fees to extend the license period, then they might not pay to keep access to the license. In addition the owners of the IPs don't have to offer the license up after that as well or they could ask for more for the cost of licensing the games, which Microsoft might not want to pay.
Homefront: The Revolution and the PS4 version of Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell lead this month's streaming lineup.
Can you Play PS3 games on the PS4? Like red dead and fallout 3? Never really understood how the service worked
Amazon has discounted the PlayStation 4 versions of Saints Row IV Re-Elected to $9.99 and Saints Row: Gat Out Of Hell to $7.49.
