Unsurprising but shitty
Oh well I can't say many of MS's games interest me much anyway. QB looks pretty dull imo

Except W10 is good.

That Portal 2 on Origin sure was a thing. When Valve releases Half Life 3 off platform then you can talk.

And people are saying they are bringing the game to the PC because they want to maximise potential sales and give remedy a good chance of getting a sequel...
When actually all they care about is getting more Windows 10 users along with more people using the store interface. If only Microsoft actually had intentions as good as some of their die hard fans.

Yeah but the store is not.

Yeah, I am on the fence if I am going to buy this. I really hope they improve until it's release. RotR sounds horrible.

Yeah, it's worth remembering that pretty much every company does this.
The problem is less about the game not coming to Steam, and more about the Windows Store having really stupid limitations. I don't think MS realizes just how many gamers rely on things like ReShade.
(Just as a thought experiment, I wonder how people would've reacted if The Witcher 3 was exclusive to GOG)

The former is never going to happen and the latter isn't really much to aspire to.
Oh don't worry, I didn't expect anything different
The signs have been there for a while.

People will complain about this (including me) but I doubt it will affect its sales. Windows 10 adoption numbers have been very high, and unlike Origin, the Windows Store is installed already by default.
yes. I can't even buy rise of the tomb raider on the W10 store because I dont have the latest november update for windows 10.... an update that constantly fails. I'd rather not have to deal with that for every game I want to buy.

Cool. Everything doesn't have to be on Steam. PC's aren't Steam consoles as much as Valve would like them to be.

I'm not disagreeing with the core logic, but you should probably get that update sorted out anyway. Remember that these updates include stuff like security patches.

Kind of weird to see people think this is shitty of Microsoft when EA and Valve keep their games exclusives to their own clients.

I don't see any logic in this post. Refusing to upgrade for free to a superior operating system, people are weird. Although I'm still not buying Quantum Break on the W10 store.
The game runs in a sandbox, you cannot inject overlays, postprocessing effects, apply individual GPU profiles, and other problems.
MS has had a digital storefront on PC for about a decade. They've had all the time in the world.

No surprise here because this game is Microsoft exclusive even though its coming to PC, so PC gamers should be happy at least they are able to play this game (if you are really interested in it) without buying Xbox one and at higher quality settings. They need their Win 10 store some attention to be successful which is the primary reason for the PC ports of their exclusives.

Oh the Microsoft PC gaming cycle. I could set a clock by how predictable you are.
MS talks up PC support.
MS releases PC games with a bunch of MS ecosystem bullshit that no one likes that offers a worse experience to already existing standards.
No one buys MS PC games.
MS stops releasing PC games.
Then several years pass and it starts over.

Wait, just so I get this straight: you think a game releasing on the Windows 10 store would not sell more units if it were to release on the Windows 10 store as well as Steam?
This is what I'm hoping for. I'm interested in the game, but not interested enough to buy it on the W10 Store.
Windows 10 adoption might be high, but how many people actually use the shitty store? It's full of scams, pirate apps, and free apps that cost money from someone who isn't legally allowed to sell it. And you can't report scam apps unless you are the original copyright holder, which makes.it worse.

The difference is that when Steam first came about there were no alternatives and it was the first of its kind. If they are serious about this it should be ready without any major issues for the gamers who wish to use it.

Not interested in buying the game on PC now. Too bad, was excited about the news. Already had some worries this would happen.
They have had a lot of time. They don't seem to be improving it.
Besides that, the biggest problem is not missing features, it is some of the design choices.
