This is the future M$ is planning for us! If anyone thinks PC games and PC gamers won't suffer from this unified eco-system they are delusional. Thanx but no thanx! PC Akbar!

This is pretty one-sided. UWP is nice for users because it sandboxes apps that are built for it.
Some benefits:
1. I know the game won't dump save and log files in my Documents folder (that place is mine, GTFO).
2. I know there won't be garbage files or side effects in the registry when I uninstall the app.
3. The game can't install rootkit-like spyware to inspect other processes on my system (hello Warden).
It would be nice if there was a way to distribute UWP apps outside the Windows Store, but UWP apps are way easier to trust than Win32 apps.
Plus (and while I really dislike app stores in general), it solves the biggest security problem : the user. It prevents it tfrom installing a load of crapwares just because he or she clicks everywhere without reading.
My specs:
Ryzen 5950x @ boosting 5ghz, Gigabyte x570 Aorus Master, 128gb G.Skill Trident Neo pc3600 ram, nVidia RTX 5080, SoundBlasterX G6, Samsung 980 Pro m.2 1TB and Hynix m.2 1TB storage SSD. Custom watercooling loop.

None of Sweeney's remarks about the technology. They are more about Microsoft's policy regarding UWP. But it seems Microsoft has already handled the problem appropriately, so everything required by Sweeney to have it "open" is met. |

Well, remember, Satya Nadella is now at the helm of Microsoft and he's open sourcing so much now.

Is there actually a page 2 on that article? The link for it just points to the first page.

Works here 
To sum up his point:
| Quote: | Conclusion
There was a lot of ground to cover in this article, and there is yet more I’d like to say. However, I feel like what is really necessary is a summary that makes it very easy to understand what I consider to be missing in the UWP ecosystem. I’ve boiled it all down to two questions, one from the user and one from the developer perspective:
- Can I, as the administrator of my PC, grant any application—regardless of its source—the ability to do anything it damn well pleases on the entire system—including to other applications and UWAs—without either myself or the developer of the application having to interact with Microsoft at all or overcome unnecessary hurdles?
- Can I, as an application developer, freely distribute my UWA to users by any means I deem adequate, without going through Microsoft and without any disadvantages in terms of features or user experience compared to selling them on their store?
The answer to both of these question is currently a resounding “No.” Only if this changes to “Yes” for both of them—and in a well-documented, implemented, technically solid way, not just vague promises—can I even start to consider UWP as a future platform for PC gaming on equal footing with Win32. |

Because with emergence of Windows App Store, other distributors like Steam, Origin, uPlay, GoG Galaxy are irrelevant

Epic Games Founder Tim Sweeney To Receive GDC Lifetime Achievement Award
| Quote: | Each year, the GDC Choice Awards recognizes the achievements of developers in the video game industry. This year marks the 17th Annual Game Developers Choice Awards, and the GDC advisory committee has chosen to honor the pioneering work of developer Tim Sweeney.
Not only did Tim Sweeney found Epic Games, he is also the creator of ZZT, one of the earliest games to allow for user-created worlds. After founding Epic MegaGames in 1991, Sweeney served as the company’s CEO and helped the company develop games like Unreal, Gears of War, and the Unreal Engine, which went on to power blockbuster titles like BioShock, Assassin’s Creed, and Batman: Arkham Asylum.
The Game Developers Choice Awards ceremony Wednesday, March 1 from 6:30-8:30pm PST. Stay tuned for move coverage of the show from Game Informer.
Our Take:
Sweeney is in good company. Previous Lifetime Achievement Award recipients includes Todd Howard, Shigeru Miyamoto, Warren Spector, John Carmack, Hideo Kojima, and Sid Meier among others. Sweeney works has clearly effected the industry, so he deserves the recognition. |
