Games for Windows Live ends! Finally!

Time to parteh! :P

It's just the marketplace, the in-game service will still continue to function.

They're also porting Batman: AA to steamworks. I can finally buy it! I'm so pleased! And I might play BioShock 2, which I've owned for years...

Just a couple weeks after I a rework of my network setup fixes my issue with it. :S

EDIT: Still in-game stuff? Ugh.

"To be clear, Games for Windows Live as a service will continue to operate."

"Although the purchase functionality will be discontinued, the Games for Windows Live service will continue to operate as usual."
that means if you have a game that uses GFWL you can have even more problems with it will still be active but you may have more problems due to lack of support

I hate Microsoft... I want to have Age of Empires Online on Steam, to buy all them DLCs and stuff... cuz I have all other games... but NOOOOOOOOOOOOO, your country isn't in top 42 countries we think we should support, so here, you can download it through Market Place, then FU... I hope now that more titles will be available on steam to other countries as well... damn Microsoft... and I am STILL waiting for Age of Mythology 2 to arrive, but alas, MS is stupid...

Wait, what about the DLC for games like Bioshock 2 that have DLCs only GFWL? O_O

Misleading title, GFWL will still operate as normal.

I dont quite understand. Why should we spent the points now because later on it will convert to cash value.
"Microsoft Points will convert to an equivalent cash value on your Live account"

and this statement make me confuse:
"should spend your Microsoft Points before August 22 to avoid losing those funds altogether"
the funds wont lose right? it just convert the Microsoft Point into cash value.

Only Games For Windows Live MARKETPLACE ends not in-game service!!!!

Dat stick...

You're holding it backwards :(

Boycott Xbox, Games For Windows Live Marketplace, Gamestop, EA Origin.... and Illuminati mothafu*#$

Game for Windows Die?

Am I like the only person that doesn't give a damn about whether or not GFWL is on or not? I actually enjoy being able to send messages to my XBL friends while I'm playing Halo 2... I just don't like how sometimes it can be a pain to set up (took 20 minutes to update and get my account into Halo 2).

Its just the Marketplace. The actual client is still there.

I can't say I really care about this notice. For me, since the beginning, X360 is a feeble platform for games where I could use any PC to have a better gameplay experience than playing on it. Their exclusive titles never found a way to convince me that is a good choice of console.. And I can use it's controller on a PC :P

Its just the marketplace but thats better then nothing.

Whats ticked me off the most about it is that they sell games that require steam, but then if you want to buy any DLC for that game, you can't actually buy it through steam, you have to go out and buy stupid microsoft points and then you have to and buy the DLC with those points and unlike steam neither of them ever go on sale or at least never go on deep sale.

And of course you have will have points left over or need to buy a few points because you end up 10 or so points short of getting everything.

This is why I never bought anything on the market place.

So good riddance GFWL Marketplace. The only thing I am sad about is that games I like, I will not be able to buy DLC for cause I doubt they will move the ability to buy the DLC to steam.

Misleading title, GFWL will still operate as normal.

I dont understand the hatred of this service.

Noooooooooooo :(

NO MORE.
FUCK YEAH FOR MORTAL KOMBAT ARCADE KOLLECTION AND FALLOUT 3 :D

Cool. Will the achievements finally work on Batman: AA now? Heh.
