There's no defense of this shitty situation, but for what its worth I finished the game on a 970 @ 1440p with gSync without any problems 2 months after release when the UWP gSync patch was released, I'm sure lower cards though have massive problems that are better on steam. Sure, never went above 30 fps and the last chapter had lag problems but I did finish (played through twice to get 1k GS).
It woulda been cool for Remedy to work out a redemption system where if you log into a site, authenticate it against both your steam account and win10 store account, it would give you the steam version if you own the W10 one, once. Not a key, since people will resell that, but direct redemption to your account. I think other games have done that in the past but not sure.
Still, I'm pretty sure its Microsoft who doesn't want to pay to deal with the W10 version anymore, and it would be sucky for Remedy to spend thousands of their own money to do a patch for a game that is probably a massive money sink hole at this point. Just a bad situation overall and I feel bad for people who bought the W10 store version, especially at full retail. Microsoft should definitely give many of them a full refund so they can go get the steam version.
