“Slowly, over the next five years, they will force-patch Windows 10 to make Steam progressively worse and more broken. They’ll never completely break it, but will continue to break it until, in five years, people are so fed up that Steam is buggy that the Windows Store seems like an ideal alternative. That’s exactly what they did to their previous competitors in other areas. Now they’re doing it to Steam. It’s only just starting to become visible. Microsoft might not be competent enough to succeed with their plan, but they’re certainly trying.”

Yup, this ^.

They did it (tried) to Mozilla, and they failed big time, but all web developers until today suffer because of that incompatibility tactics from ms. they did succeed with direct3D, same tactics, but this time game devs and hardware producers choose directx over opengl. So it is nothing new from ms to do such stuff.
