I don't know a win-win situation where MS retains their current game pass userbase and pleases company heads at MS. If MS drops day one release from Game Pass, millions of people will unsub from the service, that's the biggest selling point of Game Pass. Even if it was a 6-month or 1-year delay.

I can't see any situation where they placate both sides. One side (likely the consumer side) will suffer some kind of negative consequence.

GamePass is more than just 1st party games. People sub to GP for the variety of games, not just Xbox games. Also keep inmind MS own over 20 studios, a 1st party title will release alot more frequently than 6 months. The service is still incredible value even without the latest 1st party games at launch.
