Do you get the same results with winget install Roblox -s msstore?

Is your machine locale configured for the United States or another country?

There are some subtle differences in how the Windows Package Manager and the Microsoft Store UI behave. I'm trying to isolate what might be happening.

I can reproduce on my side and it's probably related to https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/1833.

Some of the affected games:

1. Halo Infinite (doesn't require money)
2. Candy Crush Saga (doesn't require money)
3. Roblox (doesn't require money)
4. Minecraft Launcher (doesn't require money)
5. Forza Horizon 4 Demo (doesn't require money)
6. Destiny 2 (doesn't require money)
7. Homescapes (doesn't require money)
8. Gardenscapes (doesn't require money)
9. The Tribez (doesn't require money)
10. Microsoft Solitaire Collection (doesn't require money)

These games show up in winget search but returns No package found matching input criteria. when doing a winget install using the msstore source.
