I was trying to come up with something witty and snarky but all I can really think of is: LOL!

TIL the Windows "App Store" is not actually Steam, where most sane gamers get their games.

I wonder how much will be lost to Candy Crush.

Not even once

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

Of course, all of these things can of course be admin disabled prior to ghosting an entire workplace's computers with an OS image. If there is a single workplace dumb enough to not disable any Windows game, then they deserve lost productivity. Or actually want their employees to have access to these distractions.

True enough. It's not like it's the 90s anymore. Except for workplaces that make you check your cell phone at the security desk before proceeding to your work desk. If I ever get a job at one of those places, I'll be glad to have Candy Crush on my Win10 OS.
