It's a lose/lose for Valve.

Either it is successful and the Microsoft universal app store takes off or it is unsuccessful and their userbase could decline.


It's a catappstrophe.

I don't agree. If the app store is bad, and as a result windows 8 is bad, people will stay on Windows 7 like they stayed on XP after vista came out. Windows 7 runs steam just fine, and even if Apple and Linux gain market share, steam is available on both. 

And even if the Microsoft app store takes off, it's a very different business from steam. So, it's really a win win for Valve.

Also something about kantie panties.

It really depends I guess. Microsoft knows they can keep selling Windows 7 and they can even create two separate UIs for Windows 9 going forward if they wish. However given the fact that the store is there by default it could prove quite a challenged, like how IE is there even though the other browsers are urguably better they had to work significantly harder for market share.

Any store selling digital kantie panties would obviously be the winner. However we wouldn't make it big enough for fatass Gabe to cross-dress in so Valve probably won't support the product and Microsft has always been more about the strap-ons anyway.



Tease.
