Seems Microsoft finally accepted the inevitable, Win32 is Windows and thus need modern capability based sandboxing. The final nail in the coffin for UWP.
Now they can add modern capability restrictions to win32 apps on the Microsoft store, makes the windowsapps directory fuckery somewhat easier to accept (it has a hidden layer of security below ACLs).

How wrong you are, UWP was divided up and rebranded into subcomponents to get developers to compile for TPM enabled applications, aka their 20 years long quest to kill plaintext binaries is coming to fruition.
So microsoft and everyone in the industry is quite confident they will finally kill game and application piracy you don't seem to grasp they are back porting Xbox one tech to future PC's.
Go have read gents, over the next 20 years TPM will be requires for future windows, and windows 10/11 allows micros
Mate... this is some high-level nonsense. You're conflating two completely separate phenomena. I came up during the DOS gaming era, so I recall this stuff well.
MMOs didn't develop out of some weird scheme to force games to be client-server but with the client owned and controlled by the developer and publisher. That may have been part of the business case to develop the game, but it wasn't the reason the games were conceived and designed that way.
Massively-multiplayer games were just an old genre made new a
You don't grasp trusted computing was aimed at music, movies, games and microsoft OS specficially - aka it was designed specifically for entertianment, to turn the home pc into a locked down computing device.
I'm well aware of the original intentions behind trusted computing, but I've been working with TPM lately, and all of said work involves run of the mill security such as key attestation on behalf of the user, not DRM. I've yet to see a single application that uses it for DRM. They may exist, but I've yet to run into one. Even if something out there does use it for that, that doesn't change the fact that it's a very poor choice.
