Epic Games Founder Rails Against Microsoft's Walled Garden

Epic Games founder Tim Sweeney last week called on Microsoft to remove the walls it's building around the Windows Store with its Universal Windows Platform initiative. The problem is that it is impossible to install and update UWP apps from third-party publishers outside of the Windows Store, he wrote in an op-ed. It is possible to turn on support for sideloading of third-party apps, Sweeney acknowledged, but Microsoft could remove the option to support apps that haven't been approved and accepted into the Windows Store.
