COD Infinite Warfare on the Windows App Store has multiplayer restricted to just other app store buyers

Ok guys, while I love seeing MS fall on their face with their gaming decisions as much as the next guy I still have to point this out: This decision is apparently completely on Activision and has nothing to do with MS

(Updated) Call of Duty Infinite Warfare is coming to the Windows 10 Store – with caveats | Windows Central

Check the updates

Still... 2 players... just how awful is the Windows 10 store doing, lol?

Sure lots of people are trying to push all blame on Activision but Microsoft is just at fault. If they didn't try to create a new walled garden ecosystem, this wouldn't happen.

Well sure, what MS is trying to achieve with the Windows 10 store and UWP does seem kinda sleezy and looks like them trying to monopolize the PC gaming market for themselves, but people in here are reacting as if MS was pushing Activision towards this decision which just doesn't seem to be the case.

Why would a windows store sell COD or any other video game for that matter?

They should focus on energy saving glass.

The man who asks the big questions.  But not the really really big scary questions.  Good balance.
