So the issue is that game developers want to make Metro games but don't want to sell it through the Windows store.

Is this is because they don't want to pay the 20-30% royalty? Most likely...

Considering the security issues and attacks Microsoft has been working on fixing for the last 10 years, there is not a chance in hell they will be allowed to touch Metro through any other means other than the Windows Store and the certification process involved.
