GFWL Not shuting down

Lol

I can see it now... The halo collection is coming for PC... GFWL exclusive!

GTA V deal breaker?

Nah, they'll just gonna kill it quietly a few months down the road when people have stopped paying attention to it. "We remain committed to...". They said that about Kinect on the xbone as well and look what happened to that piece of shit pffffftthahahahaha

Nah, GFWL is still done. Who'd trust them with another game?

"We remain committed to investing in PC gaming in the years ahead, and look forward to sharing more in the future."
...

Microsoft is terrible at dealing with rumours. How many games ditched GFWL because the developers were worried about GFWL shutting down ?

By not denying the rumour sooner, games produced by Microsoft owned studios have dropped GFWL. Is Microsoft going to try and make those studios switch back ?

"Although customers are unable to purchase new games from the marketplace or receive title updates, they can continue to enjoy previously purchased content by downloading them through the Games for Windows Live client as usual."

Okay, so existing games are still available through the service... but nothing new.

Especially when it comes to GTAV and "Halo collections", seems like six of one, half dozen of the other. Different ways of saying the same thing. It's not "shutting down" persay, but it's not growing. New games won't be using it, old games won't be able to receive updates and games that have switched probably wouldn't even be able to switch back if they wanted to... which is more or less a death sentence for a service like this.

no god please no nooooooooooooo

They dropped the ball, big time. I remember thinking it was pretty cool when i first used it when i got GTA IV. But immediately started having issues, the achievements were broken. Took them a week or 2 to fix. It wasn't long before you didn't hear anything about trying to improve their client. They had a good amount of popular games on their service, but they just didn't care about their service

I, for one, am extremely happy about this. I have several GFWL titles that I still don't have achievements for and now I'll still be able to get them. NO TIME CRUNCH!

But I say this as someone who's never really had an issue with the client. I've never experienced the true horrors of the GFWL service.

Seriously? Come on...

i still don't understand why most GWFL games have region lock on a lot of countries , like entire south america ;-; me wants dark souls 1 during steam sale

GFWL stopped working for me the moment they changed the client to 'Marketplace', but since that was removed, I can finally play GFWL games online now. Even managed to update it last night.. in game. It's a miracle.

I was hoping I could Praise the Sun without this. (DS2 doesn't count)

Does that mean we will still be able to play multiplayer games like Dead Rising 2?
They said earlier those games won't be supported anymore and that we won't be able to play multiplayer after the 1st July, so what's now?

If we can still play multiplayer it is a real good news !!!!

Damn! I wanted them to add achievements to Fallout 3!

Goddammit, my whole week is ruined! I was looking forward to finally play GTA IV on Steam... I mean seriously, GFWL completely messes it up. Even though I played EFLC a few times, GFWL apparently thinks I don't own it. As result, I always have to switch CD's to play. And besides, I think the achievements are also broken.

But WHYYYYY!!!!!

Good, now I can call and demand my GFWL keys from Steam!

Overall, I think it's a good news, because games like RE5 doesn't seem will be patched...

GWFL lives again as an undead

Well, it's good news because we will still be able to play games containing GFWL but I don't think any developer would be stupid enough to actually implement it in their new game.

Fuck you too Microsoft.Everything you ever done in the last 3 years were about fucking PC gamers and praising your "mighty" XBOX.You'll fail hard, you'll fire half of your employees and turn to PC gaming once more.

Whoever decided to let GFWL live, I WISH YOU GET FIRED AND SUFFER YOU ASSHOLE !
