Seems to be legit and not surprising. It doesn't sound like Microsoft is getting its money from the W10 store. I mean, who would have thought that requiring a specific version of an operating system and selling your few games through a poorly executed store that can't even begin to compete with Steam, or even Origin for that matter, would be a bad idea?

Legit.

Ludicrous Speed

Great. Best fighter I have played since vanilla SF4. The more the merrier.

Microsoft spent all this time chasing ghosts, then apple and Steam come and create a new space in their area.  If they didn't have a stranglehold on desktops...

Legit.

I could probably make up one and it's still probably be more popular.

I wonder when/if the Windows 10 store will give up and accept defeat? Making a PC game W10 store exclusive is like a death sentence. Just make all games multiplat at launch and keep crossbuy as the adoption pusher.

Stubborn people manage Microsoft.  They will probably try a third time.

The sooner the exclusivity dies, the better.
