That sounds like a fun job being the Game Pass negotiatior. That must be a rabbit hole no one will ever know about of all the weird wheelings and dealings and language used.
If you ever want to dig up a hot mess I recommend the deals with Hasbro/EA/Fantasy Flight Games.
One example is FFG could make any star wars product they wanted as long as it wasn't classified as a board game or video game. So they made "miniatures", "cards", and "apps" but no board games or video games despite them obviously being so ๐
The other weird deal was vendors had to buy Star Wars products through third parties for some reason but not direct from the maker
