I don't own an xbox, I'm not saying that Switch users should pay, I'm saying that imo I think games that have cross-platform with other consoles should be free on xbox too.

Can't really agree. It's either all games or no games that should be free unless there's a something really special about the game's multiplayer. Consistency is often the key, and I think it's the key in this case as well.

Free to Play games already don't require PS+ (I assume it's same with Gold) on consoles there's already precedant for certain games not needing it.

Hmm, odd. Anyway, that's still a pretty clear distinction from other games. It's harder to recognize a game with cross-platform multiplayer. Also, a free-to-play game is quite different from a regular game which just happens to have cross-platform multiplayer.

Not too surprising, but a bit odd indeed

I'm assuming that you don't need Gold, but when Nintendo's paid online comes out, then you would need that then
