Yeah but the major problems like no Crossfire support or modding support are going to kill the Windows 10 store before it starts at this rate. I really don't understand what Microsoft is doing. If Tomb Raider wasn't so cheap, I would of been furious at the time.

My guess is that they must think fixing these issues will get everyone on board but tbh I don't plan on using 10 and I know I;m not alone, there are 7 billion on this planet that all aren't going to be using 10 at the end of the day and those that are still using 7-8 are still part of their userbase, they just choose to pretend we don't ever exist, only when we jump through thre 10 hoop will we show up as someone that matters on thier "matters" list. For years though MS haven't really cared for mods in their games, even though the only Halo game PC gamers god was modded for a very long time and they never once praised or accepted the fact that people loved modding that game. Mods are just a great asset to PC gaming and really make things interesting and even make our games better in some areas.

I don't know why MS would want to completely ignore that aspect of PC gaming, because so far those that fully support mods get quite a high level of praise and support (Firaxis and Bethesda for example) with their games having a longer lifespan as a result of the modding community, that's like a whole other community to make money on, but by not supporting mods you also drive away that crowd and are likely to make that bit less of a profit, especially when the game is broken and they don't fix it.

If MS took all the pages from Steam (well maybe not Greenlight) and threw in mod support along with allowing 3rd parties to approach them (as in not forcing or paying them to sell to their store) and to top if off, supporting 7-8.1 for a few years more, I would totally be all on board with them.
