The Windows Store hasn't exactly set the world on fire, and it's not hard to see why.
While some progress has definitely been made with Microsoft's app store offerings, the current format is clunky at best, counter-intuitive at worst. Dan recently discussed the notion on the latest episode of Ask Dan Windows, and it's a question I often see thrown around on reddit, Twitter, and other networks.
Step into any PC gamer's community, and you will see near-universal revulsion for the Windows 10 Store as a solution for delivering video games. I'd argue that a large part of that mentality is due to latent anti-Microsoft sentiment, but the way the Windows 10 Store is set up doesn't do Microsoft any favors.
Things have improved, but two years after Windows 10's launch, the Store is simply unpleasant to use not only if you're a core gamer, but even if you're a mobile gamer, serving nobody in the process.
