I hope Sony does not listen to Microsoft call for open online gaming

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.

2015 and 2016 there was definitely an effort.  2014 they were probably planning their moves. 

Before that they were focused on their failed windows phone venture.  Hopefully they have more success with the pc store but as of now they've made very few gains.  

They are seriously trying to challenge steam and it's an uphill battle.  I wish them luck. 

What notable games did Windows store get prior to 2016? GTA: San Andreas and the Halo twin-stick shooters? You know I'm right on this.

Lets not drag the phones thing into this. Very irrelevant and is MS the only company with some failures? Nope.

Going head on with Steam is not a good idea nor is it what they're doing. MS has so many interesting games they could put on Windows Store. Hence, bring new games and port old stuff to the Windows Store. Competing with Steam isn't worthwhile and frankly that isn't where all the money in PC gaming is.
