šŸŽ® XBOX Explains Their Upcoming Mobile Games Strategy

While the upcoming Xbox Mobile Games Store remains in an endless limbo partially caused by Apple and Google wanting to maintain their store monopolies, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella recently doubled down on the fact that you should be able to play Xbox games everywhere (even mobile).

If that means Microsoft plans to bring more games to their cloud streaming service (which already works on mobile), Iā€™m all for it. But itā€™s nowhere near as exciting as an actual Xbox mobile games store. Locally installed games > cloud streaming, right?
