Microsoft has eradicated all memory of Paint 3D from the store, and its predecessor is only getting better

RIP Paint 3D.

If you've ever owned a Windows PC, there's a good chance you've had a play around with Paint before. I know I spent many hours as a kid just messing around with the software as the PC couldn't quite handle any games I wanted to play. As the software only continues to get better, Microsoft has seemingly shut down Paint 3D, which was once intended to replace the drawing software. 

As spotted by Windows Latest, you can no longer get Paint 3D in the Microsoft Store. I have verified this for myself and can confirm that it seems to be entirely missing. If you happen to have downloaded the software prior to November 4, you will still be able to access it from your PC but it won't be receiving any more updates so the current version is its last.
