They are trying to compete the last 2 years and they've been obliterated.  That may change but it ain't looking good.  Don't shift the goalposts and start bringing in their OS which is clearly not what I'm talking about. 

With Windows Store, they havent made any significant effort to get attention before 2016. Only recently did they start bringing and announcing AAA games. Prior to that it was just mobile games. They arent even competing per se, Windows Store is instead coexisting. Windows Store doesent need to steal userbase from Steam, it can share their audience for the exclusives. I think many of us have Steam, Origin, and Windows Store content.

I think MS has been content with Windows and other PC related stuff making billions so PC gaming was never a focus. They are already in the PC business and even Steam help push their OS.

Xbox gaming has importance because that was a market outside of PC gaming.

I think you are givng the Windows store more credit then it actualy deserves, I know of it however I have never used it (even have 10 on my laptop) just my example. But as far as what ive ive seen and heard the Windows store is no where near the level it needs to be able to make this cross platform thing happen there needs to be a LOT of work done to even be in the same realm as other companies.
