Microsoft began to remove Win8.1 fake apps/games

Computer Store News: Microsoft is brave enough to admit that the Win8.1 store is full of fake apps/games: we will change it immediately. After a lapse of two days, the attentive Win8.1 enthusiasts found that the original application of various types of counterfeit apps/games in the Windows application market has been “deserved”, or has been removed from Microsoft.

For example, some Win8.1 counterfeit apps that use the "desktop software" flag and even require paid downloads disappeared almost overnight. For example, many popular fake audio and video players on the desktop platform "VLC player", web browser "MozillaFirefox", the paid counterfeit application (usually $1.50) has been removed.

Previously, a Microsoft spokesperson said: "We are working hard to bring a high-quality Windows Store app store to consumers, but also to bring a wider range of Win8.1 developers. Consumer groups. Based on feedback from previous users and developers, we have recently taken action to help users search for specific app highlights and improve the user experience across the app store. These improvements provide developers with a simple, introductory guide that also helps us identify, review, and remove problematic apps or games. Of course, we still have a lot of work to do now, and we will re-evaluate the current Win8.1 application development policy, and strive to find a balance between developers seeking opportunities and consumers pursuing high-quality applications. ”

Now, Microsoft is still talking about it, and strive to create a more complete Win8.1 application ecosystem, paving the way for Win9.
