360 games gave ownership, XB1 games require and active sub just like PS plus.

Games with Gold only gave your permanent licenses for Xbox and Xbox 360 games. Xbox One games were limited to the console you claimed them on, I believe. Or they could only be played from your account. I know it wasn’t as ‘far reaching’ as the 360 games were.
GwG only gave ownership of 360 titles. All XB1 titles required an active subscription so this isn’t a recent change.
