The Windows/Microsoft Store is still useless

I wouldn't even think this would be allowed to be modded, even under two years of playing you still can get your money back on steam 🙂 it's after two years that you have no choice to keep it 🙂 sad life 😞

I think some of the games must have revised the refund policies and may have limited that time to 3 months or so at the most.

I think buying from MS store, they also have pretty less number of game listing. so it's not worth the effort either way. 

Microsoft's support for most of their platforms is pretty terrible. You remember how they used to have their own App store and windows phones? I had one and using their app store was such a horrifying experience.

I had no idea about the modding, myself, until my husband purchased Cyberpunk 2077 and now he went through steam and they denied his refund. That is insane that they don't allow any kind of modding.

Steeam doesn't allow modding? Or Cyberpunk 2077? Because there are so many moddable games on Steam right now...

Yeah they wanted to make the platform closed like apple but people already don't trust them so it didn't really picked off. now they are pushing to linux and now that way they will control more market.

I would avoid using the MS Store - it was only added to become a tablet like app/game experience with Windows 8, which is why it runs and feels so off on a desktop. Definitely would try using third party stores since I've had a few games disappear that I can't find, but MS Store says is installed after updates.

I never understood how it does work to be honest lol, i mean, it's a mixture of Mobile and PC games at once, just complicated to use and understand, i'm wondering if people even use that

There are some good uses of it though. Like if you want to install small Linux on the windows 10. You can definitely use the store. As there are lot of softwires which are easy to use with the other things like small software which can be easily installed.

Not only is it useless sometimes, but it also can ruin your gaming experience. I can't play minecraft because my windows didn't update correctly and I get stuck at the loading screen of the game. It is annoying as the only thing working is reinstalling windows...and I am not gonna do that on a weekly base.

I think for small app it is fine. I have been checking out their small apps and also premium apps. not that bad but not worth it for gaming from what I have seen.
