I'm just going by comments Spencer made here: 

“Shannon Loftis and I are thinking a lot about, well, could we put story-based games into the Xbox Game Pass business model because you have a subscription going? It would mean you wouldn’t have to deliver the whole game in one month; you could develop and deliver the game as it goes.”

I think I'd want the subscribers personally. They're more invested into my ecosystem if I were Microsoft. 

I think your taking the comment out of context. 

What Phil Spencer is saying with a service like Xbox game pass which is a subscription, it could really benefits from having story-based games. So let's say Microsoft get a studios to make episodic games like life is strange or Telltales Games. People could come back every month for new content. It wouldn't have to be a major release like Halo 6 and long wait time between new games or in this case episodes. 

Games like Halo and Forza would still have major release but there DLC could be tied to game pass. If Microsoft release free DLC for games that are on game pass people would come back to the subscription service. 

 

I think you're similarly taking the comment out of context for whatever reason you think that I did.
