Windows 10 servers for "Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare" is nearly dead after the title created factions between Steam and Windows which wasn't suppose to happen in the first place. Two versions of the game were released for both servers that limit the inter-playability features and now that the latter is suffering mass exodus of players, Windows 10 Store has nowhere to go but refund.
It is no brainer that the reason for this refund are complaints from Windows 10 gamers that "Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare" using Windows servers lack competitive gameplay since there is limited number of players. So what are the factors that contributed to this ultimate demise? Come to think of it, everything piled up to the point that refund is inevitable.
Windows 10 surely has 400 million users and probably on top of the OS food chain but only 25 percent of this number are genuine gamers. The purpose of signing up for gaming purposes is still questionable since Window 10 is known to be residing in offices or workplaces. On the contrary, Steam is the real game-specific server that has 125 million users and a good handful of them are into "Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare," SpielTimes reported.
Make no mistake about it, Microsoft is not the one shutting down "Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare" but the publisher Activision. While Windows 10 Store doesn't have limitation on cross-platform playability with other servers, Activision decided not to push through with the idea of linking with current Steam-based players.
So if "Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare" didn't fared well with Windows 10 Store, how about other hyped-up titles like "Forza Horizon 3" and "Gears of War 4?" Techno Buffalo reported that both titles suffered setbacks during early stages as well so CoD has no reason to fret. "Forza Horizon 3" failed to perform well for weeks. On the other hand, "Gears of War 4" had a glitch that forced players to re-download contents back then.
