      Okay?

      2 wrongs don’t make a right. That said, Microsoft does this much less frequently than Epic and mostly just with first party games.

      Here’s a list of Microsoft Store exclusives. I don’t see a whole lot of triple A games on there.

      Starfield was on Steam at launch, as was Halo Infinite. Microsoft has been moving away from exclusivity. But how dare they keep Solitaire all to themselves, right?

            That’s not a money reason or a store related reason. That’s really on the developer. Mac is a different architecture. Often times Mac versions require extra development.

            Linux is gaining more ground not because of a store or the developers themselves, but because Proton makes the windows versions of games run on Linux.

            My argument was about exclusivity deals, not technical compatibility.

              Yeah, the store doesn’t matter

              If it’s on a platform (os) then it’s on the platform

              If you want to complain about exclusivity it would be mac vs windows vs linux vs freebsd vs xbox vs Nintendo vs PlayStation
