I don't think Elder Scroll, Fallout and Doom will show up on Steam ...
These games are gigantic, will buying at the windows store displease some? yes, but do you really think fans will stop buying? absolutely not ... these games are very big and have very dedicated fans who will buy them anywhere.
Another point, Steam takes about 30% of the game's value, I don't think Microsoft needs to give up that money to promote "better sales" of such big games ... as a bonus they promoted the windows store, probably making it a little more popular.

In short, many will complain about Elderscroll and others being exclusive to the windows store on the PC, but in the end they will buy anyway, simply because they have no choice, end.

They've already tried this before with their own games and that hasn't worked.

I just don't see them trying once more to pull another fuck over move and force everyone to use their already crappy storefront on PC. Like you can force your Xbox gamers to do whatever tune you jam out with, but PC for the longest time has done it's own thing whenever it wants to. 

I'm a fan of ES and Fallout and yeah, I'd stop buying, because I'm not going to just "give in" like some spineless normie. If they stop selling those games on Steam/GoG, I'll just buy from someone else instead, it's that simple. 

Consoles take 30% as well as other storefronts. Also, MS isn't likely to give up Steam for a chance at trying to force people to using a storefront that not many like using in the first place. 

I don't see it happening, I'm sorry. Much as you want to harp on about the 30% (known only after Timmy boy harped on about it, thus random folk are now doing the same), Steam is still going to be around and is still going to see big games sold on it. 

I disagree with you, respect your point of view and also say that I would rather be wrong ... I dare even say that I praise your attitude of not allowing yourself to be forced to buy at the windows store.
That said, I reinforce my point ... They have the power to put Elder scroll as exclusive for Windows store, if they do that many will complain, but in the end most will buy it anyway ...
The 30% extra profit will be very welcome and the windows store will gain greater visibility, possibly becoming more popular for some.
