There is another website "Steam games". Good. But they can be "infiltrated" (like linux was).

Steam had "infiltrated" all the gaming companies, demanding each send them all their game source code (a huge corporate theft ring), and undersold both Microsoft and Apple, making sales of MS and App drop terribly. Any game MS and App had: Steam had on sale. AND HOW DID A LITTLE COMPANY fund "demanding source code" and "low profits" as a startup? Was it funded by the chinese or something?

And why is that very bad news for gaming?

Steam forces children to install POTENTIAL viruses on their parents computer - users have complained and been deleted. (it forced use of administrator password for both Steam and for each game as well: these are massive security holes). Need a new computer, thanks Dad.

The upshot of this is - Apple and Microsoft App stores, why wholely lacking in review of code safety, do delete apps if they get news of malware, and do not require "an insecure game shell" to run the games. But Steam is smaller gaming outlet that the government is has not ties or review of: it can get infiltrated by foreign agitants much more easily than linux OS did - which spawned many proven catastrophe.

Apple has "kinda done as much to prevent gaming as it has to foster it".

It's a good thing consumers have a choice to choose to get Games on Microsoft Store. It would be better if they had even a wider choice.
