Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare isn’t faring all that well at the moment. While the setting is all sci-fi space stuff, the reviews have been calling it out for essentially being more of the same in the gameplay department. But there is a bigger problem if you bought the game via the Windows 10 Store.
“Why would anyone buy the game through that nightmare” I hear you ask. My answer to that question is “I don’t know.” But I know there are people out that are die-hard Windows people that hate Steam for whatever reason.
The major issue is that there is no cross-compatible play between the Windows 10 Store edition of the game and the Steam release. This is only made worse when you find out that Microsoft allows cross-play between games on its store and Steam. It’s up to the developer/publisher to activate the feature, so in this case the fault seems to fall in Activision’s lap.
Whatever the reason may be Activision simply didn’t care to enable the feature and in turn, the small community of CoD fans that bought the game on the Windows 10 Store are seeing a very barren multiplayer world.
This hurts even more as Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare isn’t doing all that great over on Steam with the game seeing less numbers than Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 did. But there is a silver lining if you purchased the game via the Windows 10 Store as Microsoft will refund your purchase of the game.
Motherboard also reported that a user contacted them saying they got a full refund after finding only two players waiting in the “Team Deathmatch” lobby. Yikes!
