I believe it's because WB Games is listed as the publisher for the GOTY edition whereas Square-Enix is the publisher for the now-unavailable original version.
The two different versions of the game even have seperate title IDs on GFWL, which means a seperate achievement list for each. It's some giant clusterfuck. Honestly, they should just upgrade every owner of the vanilla version to GOTY and be done with it.

Hopefully, when the update happens, either Steam does it automatically, or you can contact them and get a GOTY copy.
Steam tends to be chill like that.

Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY is still not done yet?
Man, so itchy to play it again.
Comment has been collapsed.
Been asking that myself as well - will the whole GFWL library be removed from the games, or will certain games just die next year? DoW2 is one title I'd love to see without GFWL because I play it from time to time (both single and multi), and I hate to see it die :(

This is not an official statement so there could be 2 possible reactions:
Knowing Capcom I'm 90% positive they won't care about old games on a niche platform.

Right, he's the guy with problems with his manners. Because you've been so helpful and informative in the thread so far.

Right, calling people trolls and expecting anything constructive in return is priceless. That's a 10 year old punk for you.
Sit down.
Nice use of bold by the way.

You guys should kiss and make up, you seem so similar.
Maybe get married and start a troll family? Under a bridge perhaps, I know a nice one near me.

Hey I'm no troll;- all he said was "no" on a thread asking for information.. And then proceeded to act like a dick to someone else for no real reason.

Yes of course. You are the knight of justice with too much free time on his hands. Probably with the same eyesight issues as the H Clinton dude below.

"Eyesight issues"? Just what the fuck are you even blabbering about, now? You're not even making a shred of sense. Just stop trying so hard to say something smart and piss off back to under the bridge you crawled out from, already, loser.

Nothing is scarier than a kid's rage.
You're not even making a shred of sense.
Just because you can't grasp it? lol
Comment has been collapsed.
Me being annoyed at fucking idiots like you who only say idiotic crap like 1 word replies with "no", then act like rude dicks to people calling them out on that useless comment with no explanation or sources listed has nothing to do with "kid rage". And no, it's not that I can't grasp it - it's that your dumbass comment about eyesight problems makes absolutely 0 sense, as there's no instance earlier in the comment chain that would suggest either me, or H. Clinton overlooked or misread something. You didn't offer anything of value in any of your comments on the thread, you didn't answer OP, you only insulted people and acted like a moron when you got called on your idiocy.

I prefer the Clittonator, then, as I always called your ex "Billy-bob Clitton" back in the day :D

He called you H. Clinton so where's

Lame hypocrite. But you have eyesight issues so it doesn't really matter.

Get it right before calling people hypocrites.

Yeah he's definitely not part of the cool kids club huh Dear Dr. H. R. Clittonatrix, he can't make cool pet names for you :3

Yep, pretty sure he isn't going to be invited to the pizza and soda social this winter.
Hell I bet he doesn't even know about it.
Comment has been collapsed.
And if he does ask whether he's invited or not, or anything about it, I'll just say "No", whatever his question is, even if the answer makes no sense. Then follow up with "No is my personal view on this matter and requires no further explanation or reference". Even if he was just asking what the social was about :D

Keep on licking each other's asses. That's why you are not getting butthurt when he calls you h clinton. And because your mouth is always open wide.

Obviously, wow you are good at reading people, you should run a 800 number and give out life advice.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'll break it down for you this one time, incapable fucking idiot (as you like to say).
No is my personal view on this matter and requires no further explanation or reference. But if someone is interested in dialog they don't get one calling me a troll as pathetic BoGG did. Such punks should first learn some manners. Later on H Clinton with eyesight issues called both you and me trolls. After that he admitted having issues.
as there's no instance earlier in the comment chain that would suggest either me, or H. Clinton overlooked or misread something
This makes you an idiot already, with eyesight issues. Blind or stupid or both - pick wichever suits you most.
Now get lost, retard at the keyboard.

I was typing a reply pointing out the idiocy and lack of logic in your statement, but fuck it, it's useless effort wasted. Pointless arguing with you.

Pretty much, he doesn't even know what the word You means....for serious, this guy.

Rather you realised you fucked up big time already. Staying silent is the best option you've got not to be exposed as a f.i.
Comment has been collapsed.
No, I really was typing out a reply, but thought "fuck it, it's useless arguing with such an obtuse moron". But if you insist.. I just woke up; I'll get to ripping your comment and its' horrible logical fallacies apart later today.
Also, I think the most relevant here, is what an enormous dick of a person you are, anyway. With all your juvenile insults and digs at me and H. Clinton. But don't worry - I'll address your idiocy later this afternoon.

If you ask me 99% of games will get rid of GFWL since well most of them will want people to play and still buy them, its probably not to much work anyways.
Comment has been collapsed.
Doesn't seem like they know what they are going to do yet. I emailed them yesterday.
Hello Ernie.
Thank you for contacting us. The announcement regarding Games For Windows Live was recently made and we are not quite sure what is going to happen yet.
Please could you keep checking on our website, which is www.capcom-unity.com. Here is listed all news on our games - it is updated regularly so we are likely to see news appear on our site when the situation becomes clearer.
With many thanks.
Regards,
Stephen I.
Capcom Technical Support
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, that's just tech support. They have no knowledge unless it's been submitted to them from higher up. Capcom clearly still doesn't have a plan to disclose to customers.
The announcement was not recently made - it's been three months. They've had plenty of time to scramble together some sort of statement, but instead they prefer to keep selling their affected games at large discounts, hoping unwary customers won't notice. It's a rather poor way to do business.

I hope they remove them and also they should bring Dragons Dogma on PC :(

Um... okay.. so...
Microsoft is closing Games for Windows Live on July 1, 2014
Comment has been collapsed.
While there was never an official statement from Microsoft on the matter other than the Age of Empires Online support page which accidentally revealed the July 1st, 2014 date (and was quickly removed), the fact that 2K Games and Warner Bros have started removing GFWL from their games sort of confirms people's suspicions that Microsoft is planning to shut the service down.
There's also the fact that WB Games kind of off-handedly confirmed the shutdown via their community announcement today regarding the GOTY editions of both Arkham games now having Steamworks instead of GFWL:
Dear Batman Arkham Fans - Microsoft has begun the process of closing down Windows Live services over the next year. To make sure there is no interrupted service, we will be moving the game to Steam for verification and update services for both the Base and GOTY versions of Batman Arkham Asylum and Batman Arkham City.
That's the best we've got so far, since Microsoft has remained silent all this time.
Comment has been collapsed.
Microsoft should remove GFWL from all games and patch them up (or better yet - migrate them to Steamworks). It's their fault it was there in the first place and it's their fault it won't be there anymore. People should be able to play games for which they paid.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, that sucks. MS infected those games with this stupid software of theirs which no one wanted so I say they should fix it now. That's messed up.
Comment has been collapsed.
That's damn hypocritical looking at how much they earn from Windows which is for PC. Not to mention that there are some players who play just on PC. They should care about them. They provide money to MS.
Some companies just suck.
Comment has been collapsed.
On the other hand, if Microsoft do decide to do something, they'll probably patch over their games to Steam as well. Would be the most obvious thing to do since that's the only other digital distribution channel they use apart from the soon-defunct GFWL
Comment has been collapsed.
And I would love that. Especially if you could activate retail games on Steam with a cd-key just like BioShock 2 now :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I am ok with this actually, rather have them on Steam but let the devs decide what goes where or maybe both?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, they will, but not official date has been given yet.
Comment has been collapsed.
Publishers that will not fix their games get their names on my "don't buy from them"-list.
Games that don't have the GFWL-Crap removed from the devs will have it removed by a nice little crack. I paid for that stuff and if they messed it up there is no reason why to accept their "copyright".
Comment has been collapsed.
I've bought it a week ago and totally forgot about GFWL.
Lets hope that they let us play the games! :P
