All Future Forza Games Are Coming to PC and Xbox, Microsoft Confirms

@beantownsean: Not true. Windows 10 is the only windows platform that will ever get DX12 but DX12 is independent of the windows store. There are lots more DX12 titles outside of the store than in it in. The only Windows store titles I can think of is the new Tomb Raider and soon Quantum break. The DX12 in Rise of the Tomb Raider was disappointing on my system and I got better performance going back to DX11. It was Steam version of the game.

@beantownsean: Now, first thing is first, I don't like UWP as is. But it is a huge misinformation saying that if devs want to develop using DX12, they have to use UWP. That is simply not true. And besides that, if MS would like to force that, they would lose the majority of devs to Vulkan, which I'm sure is something that the businessmen/women in MS are aware of :)

I hope MS would fix the issues with UWP (and even then, I don't think I'd use it that much), but please let's not say things that are not the case. One way this might hurt the PC ecosystem though, is if in the future they would force the games to be in .appx packages, instead if win32 binaries (.exe). Now THAT would be incredibly bad. But there is nothing to point to that right now (And that would kinda be playing into the hands of Linux - and most notably SteamOS - for PC gamers; so I would think that it is not that high of a possibility). Right now, they even provide the capability of transforming a Win32 application to an UWP app, using Visual Studio (If you watched the Build conference). This is good. Because if they haven't, you could have argued "The lazy devs would just write their binaries using UWP, because then they won't have to translate that to UWP for XBox One if they wrote it using Win32, and this would decrease the number of games coming using outside platforms like GoG or Steam". But the fact that they are providing this transforming capability helps, because now the devs can create their apps/games using Win32 binaries (as it always has been), and then just transform it to UWP simply, to publish on Windows Store and XBox Market, if they want to.

@beantownsean: so how many other ways do you have for buying digital PS4 games?
