Quantum Break Will Be Exclusive To Windows Store
The unfortunate news already broke over the weekend, Quantum Break Will Be Exclusive To Windows Store only. Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg has commented on the recently announced DirectX 12 only Quantum Break for PC.
According to Aaron Greenberg, Microsoft hadn't planned to release the game on PC alongside the Xbox One but their plans changed shortly afterwards. They didn't realize that it was possible to bring the game to PC in such a short amount of time. He also confirmedthat Quantum Break will be released exclusively on the Windows 10 Store and denied a Steam release for PC. FYI, the Windows Store version of Rise of the Tomb Raider doesn't feature exclusive full screen support for SLI and Crossfire-based setups, and PC gamers aren't able to use third-party overlay programs like FRAPS or MSI Afterburner.

Quantum Break is set at and around Riverport University, a fictional university set in the Northeastern United States, where a time travel experiment has gone wrong. The event not only causes time to start breaking down, but also grants the two main characters—Jack Joyce and Paul Serene—different time-based abilities. For example, Serene, the main antagonist, can see into the future to decide which choices to make in the present; while Joyce, one of the two protagonists, can stop time. Joyce and Wilder are pursued by Monarch Solutions, a corporation founded by Serene.
Quantum Break is currently set for a release on PC and Xbox One on April 5th, 2016. It is being developed by Remedy Interactive and published by Microsoft Game Studios.

Does anyone else finds it mildly amusing that this comes from a guy called Aaron Greenberg?

You thought GFWL was bad and destructive for PC gaming with many GFWL games now unplayable and only left at the mercy of devs/modders to remove that? Well think again, it was nothing compared to horrors of Windows Store DRM.
I'll just leave this here.
It's Microsoft, what do you expect? All gamers should boycott this nonsense.

No SLI/Crossfire,
Windows 10 store download is buggy,
No refund policy explained,
Vsync is always on,
Always borderless fullscreen,
Game files are protected,
Can't launch it via the exe (So adding it as a non steam game will not work)
No fps/hardware monitor software works with it,
You need to take control of the folder as admin if you want access to the files
Mouse software which lets you create custom binds for each game doesn't work
Say bye to using sweetfx and mods
EDIT: I'm not making this up or taking it from other sources. I'm part of the Closed BETA for Fable Legends and have Minecraft Windows 10 Edition. I've came across all of these issues
-You need to take ownership over the application folder to be able to acces the game files
-You can't modify anything like configuration or game files without triggering the DRM.
-You can't copy the game files wherever you want and/or execute them directly from game .exe
-Probably no such thing as an offline mode - need to be logged in with your Microsoft ID all the time.
-The DRM is deeply integrated into the OS
-It's actually worse than their old GfWL client
The Windows store version of Rise of the Tomb Raider does not support exclusive full screen and SLI/Crossfire, and PC gamers can’t use third party overlay programs (such as FRAPS or MSI Afterburner).
Windows 10 download progress bar does not accurately display progress. • Due to a UI issue download progress may not be accurately displayed (despite downloading without issue). • When pausing and resuming the download, it may appear that the download has reset (appears to start from 0). However, actual download progress has not been affected.
