The official title was such marketing speak that I hope no one blames me for changing it. Seemingly this only means the Xbox app on PC and not stores like Steam.

Lol… Look at you all… These corporations can do heinous shit and then toss you a treat and you come running back. Pathetic.
You’re not wrong, most folks have a memory span of about 5 minutes apparently.
You can approve and disapprove of different actions a company takes at the same time. This is a positive move for game preservation (at least on the surface I’m sure M$ will find a way to fuck it up). Still doesn’t redeem them in my eyes, but I’m always for positive actions.
They seem to have taken the least-compatible course for preservation, when emulators work fine already (after many years of false starts due to folks believing that Xbox just had an x86 under the hood).
P.S. Meanwhile, PS Classic uses the PCSX ReARMed emulator, even though the game library is still pretty small at just twenty titles (but people sideload basically anything they want).
When something good happens I’ll say good job. When something bad happens I’ll call it out. It’s not like this is going to move back over to windows to get these, but you don’t need to be an asshole.
Explain how this is good for anyone but Microsoft.
Thank you Asha Shawarma, forgive our gaming sins!
