    If there is a hot new game that I am interested in, Game Pass might be appealing because it allows me play a new game for cheaper. But I also don’t play games very quickly, because I’m busy.

    Steam allows us to avoid FOMO. I’ll wishlist it, meanwhile I’ll play my massive backlog. By the time I complete one single player game, the wishlisted game is already on sale and the game has matured with updates. It’s perfect for the adult gamer.



    • Most games use win32 while developing games
    • it’s a mostly open standard
    • when you develop games using win32, you decide how you want to deliver the game to the customer (Steam,Epic, your OWN website, GoG)
    • Steam can take a cut from your sales but if you don’t like their policy you can deliver the games via other platforms. You have choice
    • enter UWA. Games developed using this platform HAS to be delivered via Windows Store. The devs need to get a key which needs to be purchased from Microsoft.#
    • Microsoft can disable Win32 apps, if they want, and all games (other than which are on Windows store) will stop working
    • games from other platforms won’t work on PC since they are win32. Your choice is removed
    • Microsoft can ban you from the store, removing you ability to install apps
