This struck me as odd too.

I would guess it may involve cloud play for subscription games and . . . Big maybe . . . a webified candy crush? It is technically possible, whether you would want to do it is something else.




>webified candy crush

I wonder how successful it would be. Do people want to play games through browsers still? I mean, if candy crush is still available through app stores, how many people would use the MS webified version? I don't see a lot of people giving up an app for a website version of the game.

If apps can't be installed on iOS/iPadOS through the MS store, maybe all the games will be available browser-based through WASM, but that's a fairly heavy task and I dont know how well it would work. I haven't played around with WASM enough to know.
