Microsoft Caves In, Allows Mature Games in Windows Store

[npcomplete]

The reason why I posted my long comments there is because the policy that seems contradictory IS the current revision, made a day before they posted that blog update. Unless they actually address my concerns, from my reading, mature apps and games are still banned from the Windows store for Indie developers--those that don't have an ESRB cert, at least.

Never understood why game stores only carry ESRB rated titles.

Xbox is the worst thing to happen to Microsoft and PC gaming.

Why don't they allow filters to be used?
Have a mature filter on by default. Problem solved. Most people won't see offending content and people who want to see it all can disable the filter options.

My heart skipped a beat when I read "Microsoft Caves In" - I honestly thought it would continue to say "Removes Modern UI for desktop users" - I honestly thought that's what it will say... I wonder who else thought that?

"How do you Start this thing?
