    Microsoft wants all future apps to go through their store. Basically like Apple does in Mac. I do believe this is the future for Windows apps. Once that happens, Valve running on Windows will be second fiddle. Valve’s only choice is to migrate to another OS or end up like Mozilla.

      Holy misinformation Batman! You don’t have to use the App store for anything on MacOS. Matter of fact many popular apps are not found in the AppStore at all.

      iPhone and iPad may be walled gardens but I’ll go out on a limb here and say that MacOS is actually more open than Windows or at the very least it’s as open.

        Its would instantly break compatibility with >99% of windows software.

        They are trying with Windows S but i don’t think it has much of a market.
