The Windows Store thing was so terrible that I would argue the only good thing that came out of it was that it made Valve/Steam invest in Linux.
I still don't understand why the windows store search sucked so badly. It isn't like they had billions of apps. So why did it suck?
At one point, I worked on an app that periodically appeared in the top 10 of Windows Store sales.
Its income? Around $500 a month.
Most probably it was on purpose. MS is famous for the infighting of internal groups and how the management doesn't know how to control their divisions.
