But this whole thing certainly makes the W10 store look really bad. I hope the people responsible understand this. Click to expand...

Quantum Break is entirely Microsoft's property, though: it owns both the IP and the game itself. I think this release is MS testing the waters to see how to much money it's leaving on the table by requiring that people use the WinStore to play its games. If the Steam version sells sufficiently well, we'll see more Steam releases of WinStore games; if it fails to make much of an impact, then MS will continue with its exclusivity push.Also, this move sets a precedent, regardless of Microsoft's intentions. Microsoft could shout "Forza 6 won't be released on Steam!" until its blue in the face, but such a statement wouldn't carry much weight the second time around.
