Age of Empires: Definitive Edition & Windows Store

[randyoaks187]

Hi Dan,

You have previously discussed in several articles that the Windows store ought to be for games such as Candy Crush and the like and that Microsoft should either develop a separate setup (I'm guessing the Xbox app or something like it) for more serious games such as Call of Duty.

Where do you see Age of Empires fitting in between those? I was curious, as, like you say there is no current "other" store, so in the Windows store it goes (since it is not going outside to Steam).

A much bigger question, but I have always wondered what would it take for MS to buy Steam and integrate that into their own services (like windows store or Xbox app)? Is there any chance this would ever happen?

Thanks,

R.O.

they can surely fit in the AOE 2 or the first remake on their windows store. I don't think MS would buy steam, because steam has it's own identity and a profitable platform for gamers.
