Dark Souls will come to Steam, will still use GFWL

That changes most of nothing. Steam is nice but it shouldn't be a mandatory factor in buying the game. I know it would be for some.
A good thing is that the consoles are also getting the extra content. It would be a shame for them to not have access.

I am xar

Console game coming to PC also on steam. going to buy this game

I doubt GFWL will be absent from the Steam version.

That's great news, but Dark Souls = billions of broken keyboards.

yyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssss

how much it will cost on steam?

All I want to know is: When can I order it? :P

Steam + GFWL = Motherload of Achievements. Hopefully both or at least one of the two will have it, good lord.

This was known. Did anyone really think this was going to just be put up on the GFWL marketplace? Microsoft has stopped trying to make GFWL a real store for a while now. The issue was never that it was not heading to Steam but just that people hate GFWL.

And all versions will be GFWL. The boxed copies are going to be GFWL, and having two seperate services provide multiplayer would split the playerbase, which they're not going to do.

A steam version without GFWL would be awesomesauce but im not holding by breath :\

If it doesn't have GFWL, it will be AMAZING :D

Hmm, get this on steam... Or get DLC on ps3...Decisions, decisions

Good to hear the extra content is in fact coming to consoles, I'll still buy the PC version eventually though.

It will most likely use GfWL, that however means I wont buy it.

Considering this'll be a direct port, I'm pretty sure all versions will use GFWL because I highly doubt they'd want to invest time and money rewriting the netcode, when they could just copy and paste using the 360's.

I'm afraid it will, most probably, still retain the integrated GFWL client, even on Steam... just like GTA4, Fallout 3, and so on.

Darn... Dark Souls is such a great game :.

Hopefully they don't though... if they do they mine as well keep it on PC

"Steam release and a separate GFWL release"

By that statement, it would seem like the Steam version will not include GFWL, though it would be....too good to be truth, to be honest.
