I find your argument specious at best. If we're talking the Metro store, Windows RT tablet users(eg. the Surface RT users) will be unable to run the game simply because they're ARM machines like the iPad on which the game runs on.

It's funny that he has no problem going through the certification for the "Post-PC" iOS app store which is supposedly killing the PC and going to sell more than PCs in the near future. But suddenly he has a problem with Windows 8 and Windows RT. There is a disconnect here.

> If MS will open up the store put it there without certification then I suspect he's fine with it.

Sorry, but is this a joke? Every malware, spyware, virus, grayware, toolbar, Bonzi Buddy clones will end up in the store.

Look at what Steam had to do with Greenlight.
