UWP is dead on arrival as far as PC game developers are concerned

Care to explain? It has issues right now, but it is new and did help make games like Quantum Break and soon Sunset Overdrive on the PC without much effort.

Developers aren't going to do release their games on Windows store and not steam. Valve and 99% of PC developers from indie to AAA will stick to steam, ea will stick to origin, Ubisoft will stick to uplay, cdproject will stick to gog and steam... etc.

Other than microsoft and possibly mobile developers next to no one will be using uwp.
