Are MS going to be only using their store for all xbox ports using dx12?

As title. As im worried thats all they will use because as a steam user i dont really want to use MS store for any games or anything. But it seems like forza 6 will be on that MS store only.

And i bet any future port will too.

I would strongly imagine this is the case.

I can only see MS games and MS sponsored games being available on the market place. Steam, etc etc are well established and will be hard to shift customers from. I know I will not be moving. There is also the issues with mods and community. For some games, this is one of the key factors in making the game successful and give them longevity. I am sure MS will have to compromise with regards to UWP... If they don't, I can not see there being much millage in their endeavor... IMO of course....
Also I am not sure UWP works in win 7.... There are still a lot of people out there who have not upgraded... So MS might just be temping the have not's over with exclusive Win 10 content... Who knows...

Most likely but Forza is F2P as is Killer Instinct (which is available now but a very poor looking Street Fighter clone sadly & not even worth the download).

Do not think MS are planning on ever making the Store or DX12 for Win 7 so it looks like they will try to tempt gamers with XB1 ports running on Win 10. Not sure if Halo 5 or Gears Of War 4 are coming to it though apart from that MS have little else exclusive wise worth buying anyway!
