Back when Microsoft began allowing developers to publish Windows UWP apps on both Windows 10 and Xbox One, a program called NESBox popped up. This little emulator allowed you to run NES, SNES and Mega Drive games on the Xbox One and Windows 10. As you might imagine, Microsoft didn't let it stay up for long and today, the Windows Store policy was officially updated to ban all emulators.
Microsoft has officially updated its Windows Store policy to ban developers from putting emulators on the store. The move was initially pointed out by the developer behind NESBox and confirmed by Microsoft's policies documents.
“Apps that emulate a game system are not allowed on any device family”, the document reads. This means emulators aren't allowed on the Windows 10 store, nor the Windows Phone/Xbox One stores. That being said, the NESBox emulator is still available elsewhere on the internet. The main disadvantage here, is that you can't install it on the Xbox One like before.
KitGuru Says: While emulation is technically legal, I assume there would have been some legal grey area if Microsoft had openly allowed emulators to remain downloadable on Xbox One.
I see why they had to do it. But it also points out a very scary thought of that someday the only way we may be able to install software and games is through online stores like this. I do not think it will happen for a long time yet but that day is coming at some point. Now if the only option is online stores and no other way to get software into your system they could pretty much control everything you are allowed to run on your system.
Then again there will always be someone out there that can figure out ways around this but we should have to resort to that type of action. We already have it happening in the online games heck you can say the wrong thing to someone and if they complain you could get yourself banned from a game you just laid out money for with no option to play it anymore and it is perfectly legal for them to do that because it says so in the terms of agreement that you clicked yes to when you installed the game.
I might be going a bit overboard and it may never happen but I have seen stranger things take place.
