Windows 10 Store vs. Steam version
For those who might be interested.
I have played both version through, up to first camp. Differences so far.
Windows Store (WS) versions seems to lack launcher (goes straight into the game), exclusive fullscreen option and, same as Steam version, proper SLI scaling. That fix for this issue that was found by the community, does not work for WS version of the game.
It comes integrated with new Windows 10 XBOX app. Achievements, Game DVR, etc. Achievements are separate from Xbox One version of the game.
It does support Xbox One controller but ONLY with latest (10.0.10586.0) controller driver. The one that causes issues in some games (Oddworld New'n'Tasty for example). In case you have older Xbox One controller driver (6.2.11059.0) WS version fails to detect Xbox One controller completely. Steam Version seems to work fine with both driver versions. However WS version has "impulse triggers" (vibrating triggers) support for Xbox One controller, much like on Xbox One. Xbox 360 controller works fine in both version, but obviously you get no impulse triggers.
Season Pass and DLC are bought from inside the game for WS version.

My Rig:
Windows 10 Pro x64
MSI Big Bang Xpower II
Intel Core i7-3970X 3.50
64gb RAM
Nvidia Titan X x2 SLI
Xbox One Controller

Understandable, after what they did to Games for Windows Store purchases. Was it so hard to transfer them to new Windows Store, Microsoft? It all digital anyway...
As for impulse triggers I don't think this minor feature ever gonna make it outside Microsoft's ecosystem. It has been, what... year and a half since Dead Rising 3 came out for PC and it had impulse triggers on Xbox One, never even mentioned for PC version. Its not like you lose much. In my opinion it is mostly a gimmick. Does add some immersion to the game. but barely mentionable.

We had a very cold winter a few years back. Nuclear reactor in my cellar was acting up, so while I sent my pet bear on a three month trip to fetch some fresh uranium rods from nearby secret military installation I had nothing better to do than to study me some english. =)
