The publisher of AOE 3 DE is Xbox Game Studios for both steam and Microsoft store

The game is releasing on 15th October.

Who decides the price of the game The game publisher or the Store?

why would Microsoft put their own game at double the price in their own store when compared to steam?

are they trying to say don't buy it in Microsoft store?

Play Anywhere gives you a Windows 10 version of a game if you buy the Xbox version (digitally of course).

This is good for Microsoft as it helps keep people in their store on the console and helps pull people into the Windows Store on PC.

Does piracy on the PC exist? Yes of course it does but as Steam shows offering a good service and reasonable prices can easily counter that.

Play Anywhere isn't a problem for Microsoft, rather it's the poor quality of the Windows Store and the higher prices.

Hi,

Afraid not. The steam version is a separate game, the Windows 10 Store version can't be exchanged.

It wouldn't be so much of an issue if MS hadn't decided that nearly all of their games were installed to the encrypted WindowsApps folder that you can't backup.

you can purchase the dlc for the windows 10 version if your using the microsoft store one and the dlc is from the microsoft store.

the steam version is different to the microsoft one, steam allows pure modding and you can only use the steam workshop with the steam version.
