I was wondering will games such as minecraft be playble on windows 8 even though it won't be on the app store, since notch refused to "certify" minecraft. I was also wondering if you could play steam games also such as skyrim?
My advice is to stay with Windows 7 for gaming and everything else.
I've been using Windows 8 since the Release Preview on Feb 29th and have done entensive testing and benchmarking on it including the RC and RTM.Windows 7 x64 beats it almost every time.
The latest is not always the greatest as Windows 8 proves.
Well would you be able to play any game out there but just not buy it of the Microsoft marketplace, since I am a HUGE Minecraft fan but would you be able to download it online and would it work? Other games that are 16+ can also be bought of steam or disc right? Since amazon.ca is having a sale on windows 8 ($180 off) so this would save me a lot of money and I am on a very tight budget since my rig itself would cost 1500.
I decided to go with Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 32-bit English 1-Pack DSP DVD - OEM since windows 8 doesn't seem to be doing soo good with the gaming industry :/
