      Microsoft has changed the rules and emulators have been banned on the XBOX and in the Microsoft Store. Given that there are loads of fully legal, totally legit uses for emulators this seems like an anti-competition move more than anything.

        It is their App Store and they can set their own rules. It's not like they are making the emulators unavailable on other platforms that don't use their store because they are not.

            Of course, but I wouldn't use a computer that used the Apple Store, either.

                The three app stores that are baked into devices (excluding Amazon)

                • Apple: The exclusive club that allows business transactions on its premises but don't piss off the owners or you're out on your ear.
                • Google Play: The we accept anyone club where people come to hang out and do a bit of business. Pick pockets and thieves go unnoticed but are thrown out upon discovery.
                • Windows store: The wild west, lawless, don't trust anyone. A marshall/law bringer comes to town every-so-often, throws out a few trouble makers, doesn't finish cleaning up the place before leaving again.
