Windows 10 is out of the door and now Microsoft is working tirelessly to convince developers to put their apps and games on its revamped app store. Unfortunately, this might've put Microsoft on a collision path with Valve and Steam.
Kevin Unangst, senior director for PC gaming in the Xbox group, assured that Microsoft "currently" has no intention to compete with Steam; but he admitted that they may have to duke it out sometime down the line.
"We are not intending to compete with Steam," said Unangst. "If anything, we want Steam to be even more successful—they've done great things for PC gamers in terms of having a single store."
"Over time do we want more developers to come over to our store and offer it in addition to Steam? Absolutely" he admitted. "Is competition good for people? Absolutely. But our goal right now isn't to do anything else other than support Steam and help it run great on Windows 10."
