Game emulators are being pulled from the Windows Store as Microsoft continues its plans to wholly unify storefronts on Xbox One and Windows PC, MSPowerUser has recently reported.
Universal Emulator, previously known as NESBox, was pulled from the Windows Store after is was found to violate store policy. Said policy states, “Apps that emulate a game system are now allowed on any device family.”
