The reason why we're sceptical about adding a queue for people who wants to queue with everyone is that queue times will be long - to the point that it won't be enjoyable to even queue with every platform. With this queue option, we're assuming that:
- People know of its existence - unfortunately, at the moment, we haven't optimised things like game announcements for Bedrock. We simply cannot tell people about the existence of the queue effectively. Sure, we can tweet, we can put a forums / Discord announcement, but there are still hundreds of thousands of players who will not know of its existence.
- This has a knock-on effect on queue times. We're assuming that people will actually join this queue or enable this setting when the likelihood is that only a couple of thousand globally will. With a network with 40k~ players on at a time, a few thousand means that queue times will longer than we'd like it to be. Also, adding a new queue to the pools of queues means that the queue times for the platform-specific games will increase as well.
This is why we're suggesting only for it being available for the platforms above yours - you'll be put into the respective "higher" queues, which inflates the sizes of people joining the queues towards the top. It also benefits the fact that KBM players make up the minority of our playerbase, so their queue times would be shorter as well.
