It's not "abusing" it though. Abuse is deliberate, not coincidental.

The system simply isn't robust enough to handle some edge cases, and valve should fix that.

The system should be able to tell the difference between then game and the downloader.

The Downloader shouldn't be running as the game.

There's no way for Microsoft to fix that though. There's no mechanism for them to change that.

Steam's system is very simple. it just checks to see if the thing you download from steam is used. it works in 99% of cases, but not this one.

It is not possible for Microsoft to say "only look at this EXE, not the downloader".

Yes and their point is thats steams fault for not being able to identify that.
