I'd rather have minecraft not run on win 8 at all than to play along. Maybe we can convince a few people not to switch to win 8 that way..

This really scares me. What if I need to buy expensive software for Windows, which got more expensive because of the Microsoft fee?

I think Minecraft may have gone to your head, chap. I don't think your game is quite popular enough to bring Windows down.

You guys realize all being cert'd means is that it's guaranteed to work on Windows 8, not that it can't or won't, right?

How are they doing that?

If by red-carpet treatment you mean an email from Microsoft PR saying "let's get your wildly popular PC game certified"?

It literally doesn't limit anything. There are no limitations being placed on anything.

Oh god, not the Windows store! However did indies ever handle selling their shit before the Windows Store?

@Jonny_Swags Yes, the ultimate closed system versus the open system. Which one is the one everybody has mass success on again?

Replying to

Yeah, but Average Joe isn't generally the audience being targetted by any indie dev anyway.

@Jonny_Swags fifty out of tens of thousands of devs, who's apps all work on the system.
