    Steam and Microsoft don't have a good relationship, either (See lack of Steam app for WP).

    It's more a matter of principle. Some companies do not support the model/plans Microsoft has with gaming and vice versa (Merging everything with Windows 8/XBOX for instance).

    From what I've seen this has to do with Gabe being ex-Microsoft and having some sort of unholy fascination with spewing misinformation about the platform and trying to get people to move to Linux.

    He has a valid point to do so. My edit above is one. Another being that games (Seem to) run better on the Linux version (Clone) that Valve is playing with lately.
    Among some others.

    Yeah, I agree but that has more to do with Valve spending more time on their Linux versions. I was merely making a point that there was a reason for Microsoft and Valve not getting along. As for SE and Microsoft publicly they appear to have a good relationship when showing off FFXIV 2.0 before it was launched all the shirts they were wearing said "Windows 8" and they were accompanied by Microsoft reps at some of the conventions they attended.

    Aye, I remember this.
    It's weird, but could be just about anything. To be honest, I am not a fan of Microsoft's "leadership" myself, I do like a couple of their products, including WP. Too bad they're not doing enough to support their own devices.
