    Just wondering if anyone has had success selling games on the Windows app store. I am talking about for desktop PCs and not the windows phone. Is it worth the extra hassle? I read an article recently about an indie making $1,000 a day from a game on the Windows store.

    I don't have a PC so don't know if it would be worth getting one to take that step.

    I think @dmmcmah the Windows market is now primarily download via Steam as @jcalle alluded too.
    Unless your a big name studio (and the marketing budget associated) I can't imagine much success on the Windows store.
    You would need profiled via Microsoft themselves or have luck with a marketing/social media/advertising campaign to have good numbers from that platform.

    But as you mentioned someone's done well so I'd love to read that article if you have a link: 'an indie making $1,000 a day from a game on the Windows store'
