Poll: I would prefer Timed AAA 3rd Party Exclusives because paying to have games on GamePass day one doesn't actually give any major advantage. Currently, the mass market is still not ready to jump on subscription services as the way to consume content, so the large majority of gamers still buy the games the old way. Which means that you pay money for nothing as the game will release on all platforms simultaneously.

Yeah, I would say that Microsoft needs iOS market way more than iOS users need xCloud. But I would say that it's probably Microsoft's fault. They had their own mobile business, but made minimal effort to gain a significant marketshare. It was their decision to back down from that and start relying on Apple and Google in mobile. And of course, both Apple and Google have their business interests.
