Revised Windows Store Policy Allows PEGI-18 Games

[Oct 25, 2012, 8:13 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Microsoft has revised the policy of the Windows Store, reports Gizmodo, backtracking on plans to exclude games rated PEGI-18 from being listed there. There will be a delay, however, as while the Windows 8 store launches today, the PEGI 18 games most likely won't be showing up there until December. Thanks Gamasutra.

Personally i stuck my desktop tile top left and then hitting return shows my desktop right away (and tbh I find it quite nice to see the weather, news updates and how many mails i've got before i even open an app).
