Quantum Break PC has no "Quit" option on Menu. Gotta Alt-F4.

Even if all the games worked flawlessly it would still be a walled garden and we still wouldn't want anything to do with it.
UWA doesn't belong on pc
The monkey paw analogy for asking something from MS that was mentioned earlier is perfect.
Well the amd fx cpus have terrible single threaded performance but they do "okay" in multi threaded games (not 30 fps bad)
so if it's a cpu bottleneck that means the game is only using one core or is using one core heavily
Which is weird as it's running on consoles with even much weaker individual cpu cores.

You sweet summer child.
Quantum break is Windows store exclusive. Which in itself isn´t a problem.
The problem is it´s a UWA (Universal Windows Application). It´s an App. On a Desktop PC. It offers literally no adventages to Win32, only disadvantages, such as, deciding where to install the app exactly (only Drive decision), no modding, no access to files as you would have now etc.
Basically MS has a God complex and thinks it can fuck with PC gamers.
But at least it's not as bad as GfWL though, right?
I dont disagree but I'm also pointing out that even if everything esle was peachy keen about it they cant even release a single game without some technical issue. I mena the results speak for themselves. Not only is it a questionable move for gamers as a platform but these releases show us its also a shitty platform for games. Everybody loses.
No, his point was people who don't know shit about how a PC game works defending Microsoft decisions when the person doesn't know fuck all about how the platform operates. It's very different from console expectations.
Making? The only one they "made" recently was GoW UE and that was a remaster.

It's not UWP they are defending, it's Microsoft.
Microsoft could make it so that the next Xbox is smeared with horse shit so it stinks out your living room and some people would still defend it. I can already see it... "But it makes it more immersive when I play the Witcher 3, you get the smell of Roach right in your living room. Phil Spencer please, have my babies."
Honestly I don't know. GFWL could at least be modded out of games if you didn't mind playing them singleplayer.
Microsoft has now released Gears of War on PC twice, both under different types of DRM doomed for failure, both locked down completely, and both requiring an OS.
I see, thanks.
Now everything makes sense in this thread, seems like Microsoft "features" backfiring on them as usual.
People that never once got a single pick of interest on PC gaming and and that their whole post history is defending MS actions in everything ever, and not a single post on a PC game thread ever.... yes, i'd say they aren't PC gamers. Because they literallly never played a PC gaming and only appear on the UWA threads to defend MS.
Considering the shit i read from some people on the UWA threads, this is accurate. MS could be whacking people with dead babies and they would still say "well lets just wait and see what they are going to with those babies. Don't assume bad things just yet!"

But next time, just you wait. Phil Spencer will wear a Conker T-Shirt, some blue jeans and a black blazer and say that this time, they´re for real and will do what PC gamers really want.

Thank god the only game I have a huge interest in so far is Scalebound.
It's OK.....the new game button will be missing but you will be able to exit the game lol
You'd have to start the new game on the Xbox copy, let the save transfer to PC, and then you can continue.

Don´t worry durante will fix it no probl..... oohh.
Apparently what Phil thinks PC gamers want is to be protected from all those nasty evil mods that will infect your computer and "add some kind of phishing tool to the game so that now its capturing my passwords as Im typing them into Chrome".

No modding and access to files aren't necessarily disadvantages, depending on your point of view (I think they are, personally, but it does ensure security and consistency of the app's environment). UWA apps also run in an isolated sandbox so are much more secure and not nearly as vulnerable to memory-related exploits.
So, UWA does have some advantages over win32. However, from the point of view of gamers, it's pretty rubbish and I wish Microsoft would either open it up or abandon it.

Praise lord Phil, for he protects me from evil.
Is it actually REALLY that secure? Genuinely asking here. Unless they´re 100% percent, no possible way ever to be messed with, the point is mood. And even if so, it´s irrelevant to me, i´m the admin of my PC, i do what i want, when i want, where i want and how i want.
PS.: i saw that you agree with it being a disadvantage. Point above not directed at you.

I fucking knew it, god dammit...
You knew what?
Do you have access to PC performance statistics that we haven't seen yet?

Calm down there, there's no solid proof yet. One streamer is running the game just fine.

Still no SLI or G-sync support?

Or instead of waiting for Durante, you could just, ya know... click the X in the corner.
I feel like its an encapsulation of the entire design ethos behind Windows 10. Its designed to look pretty and stylish but in doing so obfuscates options/user controls to the point that people are no longer even aware of their existence. Also kinda aligns perfectly with the UWP now that I think about it.

Standard UI interfaces in games have a quit button. No further comment.

Not that I know of, there isn't a UI launcher yet like Big Picture Mode here.
I use my Steam Controller to select it. I game with my One pad
Comfy couch console gaming will spoil ya. Big Picture Mode was made.

I'm not on Win10 yet but I have a DS4 that I use with DS4Windows. The touchpad acts as a mousepad so I can do everything from the controller. That's how it works on Windows 7 at least.
Don't know if it's the same on Windows 10? Someone else might be able to answer.

Your comment is very confusing considering we're talking about UWP.
UWP apps may run on Windows 10, but this is not a Windows 10 problem.

Since UWP ONLY run on Windows 10 devices, it is a Windows 10 feature. It is also a forced feature if you plan on playing any Microsoft game on PC. It's very much a Windows 10 issue.

Yes. Add game to steam and launch from big picture mode. This "no quit button" thing is a big issue for my setup since i have pc in another room and its connected to tv via long hdmi cable. When i want to play on big screen i just turn on av receiver then click guide button on controller to launch big picture mode and that's it. I have a wireless keyboard laying on a couch near tv for emergency cases but i should not have to use it....
