Its a lot easier being righteous than right.

I'd imagine it's more because their store was a flop. Their pricing was ridiculous.

Windows 8 needs taming indeed. Apart from that it's not that bad . At least it's fast.

MS wanted to force ALL devs top only use their store hence the whole games for PC but the MS XBox software on PC is really poor.
Install a game it get's deleted when you try starting it up, you install again from CD it instead tries to download it.
Then it doesn't take the key or says it's used or takes it but the game still doesn't work.
Also real hassle trying to log into it or getting a new account to work.
