Could Microsoft destroy Linux gaming by using the windows store (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

So as we know Windows Platform Apps and WinUI3 apps do not work on Linux, I keep wondering if Microsoft were to launch a new API let’s say direct X 15 but limit it to Windows Store Apps, and provided a way for the apps to be installed from other stores like steam could they in time kill modern Linux gaming.

it's not true.

while there is a 10 device 'limit', that refers to how many linked devices you can have. you can remove one to add another. info and how to do that

Yeah, I was like 'uh, no'. I had to reinstall FH3 well over a dozen times because their updates would break shit and there was no file integrity check system. The store is garbage, no doubt, but let's keep it to facts yeah.
