Ahh HELL YEAH
Hope that Recore Definitive Edition makes its way to steam too. I'd buy it again.

This makes me annoyed I got $65 store credit on the Windows Store from Bing searches. Can I convert that into Steam funny money so I can buy Crackdown 3 from there pretty please microsoft?

I'd made no sense to only put Halo Wars 1 up there. I kinda assumed they would put 2 there also

Good.
omg yes, anything that comes to steam I would definitely think of buying. Windows store can piss off for the most part.
They put the first one on Steam, too.
I actually don't know, didn't CA also do the new version of HW1?
Same, I'd love Recore on Steam.

Let's hope so.
Probably because it bombed and they are trying to recover some money.
I don't know. Preliminary research doesn't give me any indication.
EDIT: Behaviour Interactive did the port apparently. No clue who they are.
They put Quantum Break on Steam last fall and they fully own that IP.
I don't know about their biggest games. They might do that at some point but right now they seem to be keeping them exclusive and just putting the games that didn't sell as well on Steam.
Hopefully it sells well enough for 'em to ditch the Windows Store for games lol. Or at least put out Steam versions more frequently

They should just forget about these Windows Store non-sense. No need to keep games on a service that bad or that may disappear again. And if they believe crossbuy has value for some people, then they can keep selling there on top of Steam, for those who might want to take the risk.
That's what I believe as well. Basically, games developped by a 3rd party.

It makes sense. MS may be willing to send PC versions to die in their win 10 store but creative assembly probably not happy about that.
For now, I'll take this as a confirmation that it bombed elsewhere and that's why they are putting it up.
But it's going to be very interesting to snoop at steamdb once it's out, to see when exactly they uploaded it in there to get some idea when the decision was made.

Megaton news if proven.
I shit you not, I wouldn't be surprised if it sold less than 10,000 copies on the W10 Store.
At some point, you look at what you have and wonder "Is it really financially viable for me to keep this off Steam?"

Microsoft is a confusing company.

PC Halo Wars 2 on a platform that isn't contemptible and insulting? Hooray!
How much like a traditional base-building RTS is Halo Wars?

Knew it.
Shame they have the dumb no multi-player across steam and windows store, but otherwise a good thing to be on multiple stores.

At this point your are probably better off just buying dawn of war 3 instead.
Multiplayer between steam and windows is allowed... it's up to the dev
If I were them I'd probably release all first party titles on Steam and Win10, but make the Win10 version cheaper at launch

Hot damn I'd love to see H2 Win10 Store numbers versus H1 Steam numbers.

I would honestly rebuy the hand full of Windows Store games I have on Steam if they became available, just to avoid that service all together. I'll definitely be picking up HW2 now.
