I don't need a special app to move files around (that's a generic task for which I should be able to use any file manager I like). This is where Steam, where I can copy a folder and the acf metadata file and it just works is the right answer to the problem. This is why I need to be able to access the files for the game.

Just the devs who made the game and the devs who made the drivers for my GPU who have to be restrained from doing what they want to!īut why does it matter, isn't UWP going to continue to improve and get better with time so it'll be just as good as win32 eventually? I have to wonder why are we so eager to wait and why MS, after throwing away Games for Windows (Live) and the store we'd previously used to buy things, even bothered to come back? Remember when all those publishers had to release patches removing the GfW matchmaking, DLC, and savegame encryption from their titles so they could keep selling them on a store that wasn't being turned off? How everything moved to using Steam APIs.Īnyway, here's why accessing the files on my PC was important earlier today (yes a timely example): I needed to move some stuff around my SSDs (because I only have a few old small drives) including a UWP game: Of course, the MS overlays are all working fine, those have been granted access and enabled for all UWP apps. Not even direct access to the GPU so the game can properly access the video output beyond your desktop output settings or drivers having proper access to the game so all the overlays and so on work right. No tweaking stuff, no injecting a custom DirectX dll to tweak the 3D effects to work better or enable new shaders. Not so with UWP apps, which are locked up with default permissions that don't even let the local administrator see the files.

I poke around, modders poke around, the driver team behind my GPU poke around - everyone can have a poke if I choose to activate their tweaks.
Gaming is great on PC because the same is true there. Fix things, tweak things, make changes that I choose.
Windows is an OS where my local administrator can happily delve into the core OS files and poke about (as it should because the PC is mine and the system is mine to administer). UWP is fundamentally broken and win32 apps (ie basically every game released for Windows before this Win 10 Store arrived and 99% of the ones now) are the way forward for PC gaming, same as always.
