Steam and Epic are welcome
Microsoft would also like to see gamers in the Windows 11 Store. For a fee, of course...
At the presentation of Windows 11, Microsoft expressed the wish that other stores, such as Amazon's Appstore, as well as gamers, such as Steam and Epic Game Store, would find their place in its Store. It sounds good, since users could find more or less everything they want in one place, but there is a catch.
In Redmond, the terms of the Store's business have been slightly ventilated and external providers have been allowed to offer their programs without having to pay any "compensation" for it. But this does not apply to games. The compensation remains for them. Otherwise, it was reduced from 30 to 12 percent, but it is very unlikely that independent game online stores, such as Valve's Steam and Epic Game Store, will accept this, since they themselves are not doing too badly. Especially now in corona times.
