Microsoft will ‘kill’ Steam in five years; accuses the creator of Gears of War – Tudocelular.com

The famous gaming platform Steam, extremely popular with players on Windows, may be in their final days. According to the controversial co-creator of Gears of War, Tim Sweeney , Microsoft will try to eliminate the store at all costs in a period of five years. The intention, he says, will be force the download-only titles via Windows Store .

The harsh accusations Sweeney arrive months after another controversy. In March, the co-founder of Epic Games advocated a stern stance against universal application platform Windows 10. For him, the initiative serves to end programs in Win32 and prevent users from installing apps anywhere, making the closed system like OS X.

for the game developer, Microsoft would have a strategy in the sleeve “kill” Steam without doing it directly. At least not at first.

 

Slowly, over the next five years, they will release patches for Windows 10 forced to make Steam worse and more buggy. They’ll never break it completely, but will do so continuously until, in five years, people are tired of so many bugs and begin to char the Windows Store an ideal alternative.

 

Without presenting any evidence or example, Sweeney went further and said that Microsoft “did just that with their previous competitors in other areas. ” It continues:. “Microsoft may not be competent enough to succeed with his plan, but they are certainly trying to”

the idea behind the conspiracy theory is that Microsoft would prohibit the operation of the Steam until it becomes unpopular. From there, it would open the way to completely prevent games and applications can be downloaded off the Windows Store.

Remember that since the update of November 2015, Windows 10 already allows the installation of universal apps by default, without prior manual release. This allows, in theory, continue to get programs independently sites, provided they are developed in new ways.

Tim Sweeney is not the first founder of Epic Games raise controversy against Microsoft. In June, another co-creator of Gears of War, Cliff Bleszinski , said the premature announcement Project Scorpio “sounded like apology.” According to the developer, the successor to the Xbox One would come to overshadow an alleged failure of the current generation, which would not have enough firepower in comparison to the competition.
