I don't think most games can be published in the windows 8 app store. They have very strict guidelines about the types of apps that will be listed. Specifically, only metro-style, full screen apps that use a specific subset of the .NET framework. I don't know of any games right now that would fit that requirement, certainly not the types of games that make steam popular. Especially when you consider the most popular games are exclusive to steam.

They can change that

  That's not what matters. What matters is whether or not they can change it in time.

    I think he means that Microsoft can change that requirement.

According to msdn, it is possible to create marketplace apps using C++/DirectX which is pretty much what games need: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/br229580.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/br22958...
