      Microsoft ditching UWP for Gears 5. It’ll be win32 for Steam and Windows Store. Another sign UWP is dead, but do please tell me how it’s alivehttps://twitter.com/OctusTC/status/1165542113850716160 …

      Dunno why you're so concerned with claiming it's dead -- it's alive, but the rate of transition doesn't need accelerated while there's no UWP-only hardware targets. So the focus is on improvements and building the talent pool instead of the same sort of immediacy.

      I mean, they got the chance to write from scratch. Tim Sweeney was against the store, not the toolkit.

      The concern I stated was with 2016 Microsoft using UWP as cover for blocking competing stores from running, as Windows RT did. That’s now over thanks to Satya, Phil, Alex & team’s great efforts.

          The idea of UWP as a more sandboxed API for safer app distribution was sound. But it was too lacking compared to win32 APIs which expose the full power of the OS and its kernel features, which many Windows games and applications use to its fullest.

          Is it still lacking?

          Out of curiosity, has Epic looked into the possibility of distributing appx packages from its store?

          Looked at this a while back. Installing appx packages is even easier than win32, but it’s not a priority for the store because games are predominantly win32.

          Not really, you have been always able to sideload UWP apps since day1

          Not day one of MS store though. 8 didn't even have options for enterprise app sideloading and 8.1 barely met that need. 10 didn't have support for auto updating third party sourced apps until the last year or two, but does now.

          Gee I wonder what shady hypocritical company does this now. Stopping apps/games from running on other store fronts.

      Loading seems to be taking a while.
