Why would a user care about these things?
- barista 15y agoHere's why: No cut to microsoft so cheaper prices of apps Familiar apps on both my phone and on my tablet/PC. No learning curve and settings/progress/data is shared Live services integration means my app roams with me to another PC when I buy one.
- Someone 15y agoI am not sure we will see lower prices. Firstly, prices in Apple's store already are, let's say, 'affordable' for most apps. Secondly, I think many apps are priced to what the market will bear, not to recoup costs plus some profit. Thirdly, running that store will cost MS money. They are not a charity, so I guess they will try and recover the costs in some way. What that way is, I do not know, but I would guess it would be in adverts, non-free options with better exposure and/or in the cost of Windows.
