I haven't played many 'intense' management games, but Frostpunk is one of the hardest ones I've played. It took me ages to get the gameplay down enough for me to not lose immediately 😅
Game Pass is one of those things where it's hard to believe it's real, but I'm glad it is 😅 . I don't think a price increase would deter people much, since it'll still be a really good deal.
