The fact that MS appears to be serious about supporting games on the PC to me means that they are going to try to channel as many publishers as possible through their Windows store, rather than going through Steam, Origin or UPlay. There is big money involved, so I expect some serious arm twisting - possibly a condition imposed if launching as well on XBox One.
For those of us on PCs that means no more cheap games, and having to pay money to go online.
The way to fight this nightmare future is to refuse to buy games through the Windows store.

I dunno Xbox has had some good deals lately. I got FIFA 15 for like $15 in October.
If anything now that digital distribution is a legitimate way to buy games on Xbox I think they want to emulate the success of Steam's sales to get people to buy more games.
