I honestly don't get it either, I mean Steam supports Mac, Linux and multiple Windows OS's along with a bit of console support, all the other companies support multiple OS's and even clients on PC, hell Sony technically supports the other OS's with some of their supported titles that go to the likes of Steam. MS is the only one in this entire race that's actively trying to set an extreme tight limit on who can play what game and where it goes to and honestly that's not even logical when they should be aiming to support more bases to earn the most money from and 10 isn't magically going to be the god ender, the OS that ends all OS's and has like 99% population of the world, it's never going to end up like that so they should stop trying to dream (while trying to act on it) and think that will be the outcome to support their illogical actions.
Also as a PC gamer who's looked back on history, MS has fucked up with the platform for a number of years and times, they aren't winning this console gen and trying to think they can dictate what PC gamers buy or play on really shouldn't be a thing, beggars can't be choosers and they ditched a whole userbase for yonks. You don't just come back and order them on what to go with. The whole Windows store and 10 only screams GFWL 2.0, they claimed they weren't going to compete agaisnt Steam and yet they set up a store and decide to not release towards Steam at the same time, their very goal is clearly to create their own closed off eco system that they can dictate and control entirely which essentially is them competing directly with Steam regardless of what angle you could go with.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
