the bay has been inherently worthless and virus-ridden for multiple years now, it's a shell of its former self

I wish Microsoft was competent enough to make the Windows app store popular, then we wouldn't still be using this dangerous .exe garbage.

I was setting up our product for our company, and was like "hey, MSIX packages are far superior to executables in every way including security" and the boss was like, "no lmao I like freedom, make it use exe or re-write the whole thing, it's a huge failure and oversight on your part that your modern framework doesn't support a 30-year-old aging format"

People literally do not realize that Notch could have (had) a bad day and steal your credit card numbers because exes are insecure. People are very lucky that the vast majority/entirety of indie developers are not bad enough to do that.
