@kenpex@Jonathan_Blow Win8 will be the cause of the demise, though. Without it, there would have been none of the exodus that's going on.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@kenpex@Jonathan_Blow There wouldn't be all these people looking to ship alternatives now - there'd be no SteamOS, for example.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@kenpex@Jonathan_Blow The AppStore bit is somewhat of a red herring at this point, because Steam doesn't need to ship there.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@kenpex@Jonathan_Blow So that is more of a long-term potential problem, whereas the Vista-like reception of Windows 8 is immediate problem.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@kenpex@Jonathan_Blow So I am actually fairly certain they'd be doing SteamOS even if Win8 Metro had no store.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@kenpex @Jonathan_Blow Giving Microsoft 20% is bad, sure, but not having _any_ sales because your platform went away is way, way worse :P
