IMO just get the game if you are interested in it. I honestly don't understand why the Store is such a big deal for some people. Not having a total Steam monopoly is a nice thing and in the end we already have multiple launchers for specific games. Uplay, Origin, Battle.Net Client, Bethesda launcher and probably more to come in the future.



















The Windows Store is inferior in lots of ways.Games are usually overpriced, the UI is terrible, it's unreliable for basic things, such as pausing a download and lacks verifying integrity of an install. Updates for HW2 seem to be way too bloated for the content included, so I assume it's a result of it being a UWP game.It also doesn't allow modding which is a massive problem for some games. I would have released a fully playable Flood leader a few days after ATN launched, if HW2 was on Steam.A Steam launch would have also benefited Xbox players. Games on Steam can get updates significantly faster, the developers could have tested out balance changes and new leaders there first and then launch on Xbox. The massive increase in revenue might have meant the game would get more maps and other improvements.
