Steam on Windows 10 Will Get 'Progressively Worse': Gears of War Developer
-
According to this, MS is breaking steam on purpose with windows updates.

@otter A little late to the party....

@FrostCat agreed:
@Rhywden d in The Official Status Thread:
Status: It's official, Tim Sweeney has jumped the shark and gone full tinfoil hat.
Slowly, over the next 5 years, they will force-patch Windows 10 to make Steam progressively worse and more broken. They'll never completely break it, but will continue to break it until, in five years, people are so fed up that Steam is buggy that the Windows Store seem like an ideal alternative. That's exactly what they did to their previous competitors in other areas. Now they're doing it to Steam. It's only just starting to become visible. Microsoft might not be competent enough to succeed with their plan but they are certainly trying.
Sorry, dude, but Valve doesn't need MS's help to make Steam progressively worse and more broken.

@Tsaukpaetra Thanks, beat me to it.

No problem, I'm on mobile, call anytime?

The risk here is that, if Microsoft convinces everybody to use UWP, then they phase out Win32 apps.
I would tend to agree...

@LB_ "Hey, we have some competitors that use automobiles to transport things, so let's ban automobiles from being used anywhere in the world. Wait, we use automobiles? When did this happen?"

@LB_ They'll probably do what they've always done. Change it slightly, and workaround important stuff with shims.

I cite all of Raymond Chen's posts about the great lengths Microsoft goes to preserve backwards compatibility as counter-evidence.

I'm too lazy to search the Interwebz for it, but I think I saw an article like this sometime in late 2015 too.
-
@otter It's true, but not because of Microsoft's doing. Steam's been getting progressively worse without their help at all.

@blakeyrat you're a bit late with that zinger

Yes, Sweeney was doing a "The sky is falling!" previously, going on about how UWP apps were not allowed to be sideloaded at all.
Which MS then kind of counteracted by making the ability to sideload switched on by default (and said ability had also already existed way back in Windows 8 ).

Yeah, but a real topic is the place where this belongs. It's a retarded status update. Unless maybe you're on MS's Steam breaking team?

If I were and I told you I'd have to kill you computer.

Maybe you should those posts here, then.

@FrostCat you might start a new topic:
