Win 10 exclusive does not mean it's not on steam, does it? Maybe it's simply only running under 10, not 7.
That said, why play AoE 1 when you can play AoE 2? Seriously 2 is so much better than 1.

Except their store doesn't work and assuming I can get a game installed, which I can't because the install button does nothing even on a fresh OS installation, I'm looking at games double the size (so a 50GB game takes 100GB of space) and their customer service is the most horrible thing I've ever dealt with in my life.
I agree Steam shouldn't have a monopoly on PC gaming in the West... But I'm not willing to go down the road of defending the Windows Store.

Windows Store is showing 10/19 release date!
With so many peeps playing RTS Halo Wars 2 on console, I figured there was a chance.

The last thing we need is another baby's first rts because it needs to be on a console.
Did you? The other games are on Steam, I see no reason this is WS exclusive. Makes no sense at all.

Closed beta sign-ups are up (or at least I just noticed them)

Empire Earth 3 had so dang terrible unit vocielines
Yeah, I remember I got in the beta of that game and never really played it, so glad I didn't experience that monstrosity.
I only played EE1 and EE2. (2 wasn't nearly as good as the first one, but they changed game devs)
Empires: Dawn of the Modern world was an amazing game as well... (I miss Stainless Steel Studios)

Don't care that it is Win 10 exclusive...will buy regardless. Steam fanboys need to shut the fuck up.

I signed up a week ago already
WinStore exclusivity at launch isn't the least bit surprising. I don't expect any other WinStore titles with MP functionality to release on Steam until after the Steam + XBL network API has been road-tested and is ready to be implemented into other titles. I'd wager that's why MS has thus far stayed mum on the Steam release of Killer Instinct despite "more details to follow" being uttered more than two months ago now.

Welp. I'm probably way back in the queue then.
19th October release for AoE1 remake, outside of that nothing yet
nothing yet. just have talked about the series and shown some more of Age of Empires Definitive Edition. Still saying there is a big annoucement to come.
