If you have a gaming PC and Windows 10, you're already in MS's ecosystem.

Not entirely true but somewhat.  I purchased Windows 10 Professional when I built my new PC a few months back but that is all Microsoft is going to see from me.  They might be collecting data on me after turning the share data that they allow you to turn off (I'm sure there is still data being collected without my knowledge or ability to turn off).  That is about all they can expect from me. 

I won't spend a dime on the Windows Store because I'll just stick to a superior store called Steam.  If Valve had converted all the steam games or a majority of them then I would have probably just went with Linux or Steam OS but since only 20 games out of my 100 are available on Linux based system then I'm stuck with Windows.

I normally buy my games on Steam however i picked up Snake Pass over Steam based on the fact it was Play Anywhere title. I wanted both Console and PC versions and Windows Store had the benefit. I wish Steam and Live merged services and just run off one gaming network however thats wishful thinking. Win Store has its advantages and so does Steam. I am starting to buy the Play Anywhere games now off Windows Store over Steam due to the sheer value and Xbox Achievements are just so much more thrilling to obtain over Steams. Steam will always be my 3rd party service however if MS keep pushing the Play Anywhere feature than Steam is going to have a tough fight on its hands.. For me anyway, and i am a 11 year Steam Member
