Xbox games are actually windows UWP apps, which is the format distributed by the Microsoft app store. Windows games from the MS app store are UWP as well. Xbox's are actually Window's PC's, and have been this whole time.

But now, xbox is releasing a new device that is not locked down to shit and allows you to use some more of it's full capabilities, and they act like it's some hot new feature. I'm so fucking fed up of corporations forcing locked down shit on us and spoonfeeding us unlocked stuff and then expecting us to fucking worship the ground they walk, all because they deigned to "allow" us to use the devices the way they should have been usable from the very beginning.

Competition is always good, even if it just makes what valve is doing better.
