Microsoft has offered to help with the Windows 8 certification for Minecraft, but creator Markus Persson has this offer repulsed. Persson has no need of sales of Minecraft through the closed Windows Store.

Markus ‘Notch’ Persson, the creator of Minecraft, has an offer from Microsoft knocked off to the game with Windows 8 certification. Persson makes objections to the closed nature of the new operating system, and referring probably to the Windows Store. It is not the first time that game developers fall over the course of Microsoft’s new operating system; rather made by Valve and Blizzard make their objections known.

The Windows 8 certification to be an application include information on the correct spots to save and the security measures of Windows 8 support. Certification is a requirement for apps on the Windows Store to get, but it is not necessary to use desktop applications to run on Microsoft’s new operating system. Persson agitated for similar reason, before Steam, the distribution platform of Valve. He was not to speak about the closed nature of online distribution platforms and the percentage of the selling price that is withheld, reason for Persson to Minecraft is not through the platform of Valve.
