[QUOTE=Tacosheller;41894504]This means Dark Souls MP is going down, too? Along with GTA4's?[/QUOTE]
I'm sure with Dark Souls' multiplayer they'll move it to steam, and I wouldn't be surprised if they do that with GTA 4 too.
See ya later fucker.
I also imagine popularish games that use it will get moved over to other services.

no problem, double negatives can get missed all the time

[QUOTE=FlubberNugget;41894827]then why did you say it's not happening?[/QUOTE]
I didn't. I used a double negative.
"it's not going to not happen" = it's going to happen
then it was very vague

I am unable to login to one of my accounts for some reason even though I (and it) know I put in the right email/password combo.
I heard they're going to release a new service
Games for Windows 8
someone reminded me
we will lose our GTA IV/EFLC savegames, stats, progress, etc...

It ties saves to your account, so you have to be signed in to play (and if you choose to "play offline" the save doesn't transfer (it didn't for GTA IV afaik). It also randomly deletes saves because fuck you.
It's horrible for consumers [i]and[/i] it's a fucking piece of shit.

Wouldn't surprise me if the XBox brand started leaking over into Windows games.

Seeing what a shitstain the PC port was and that the community had to fix it themself, I wouldn't be surprised if From Software left the game to die. Dark Souls 2 is coming out in 2014 anyway.
They better fix their shit so savegames work offline bare minimum.
It'd also be cool if rockstar updated GTA IV so it'd use social club/steam servers.

It wasn't something that was a virus to a computer it really was the fact that GWFL sucked at managing games, I liked the xbox integration but even though it said it had cloud sync saving, that wasn't the case and you'd often find starting back at the very beginning if you say wiped the game data or reinstalled the OS
Took them long enough to realized it sucked and nobody wants to use it.
We already got Steam, we really don't need another digital distribution system.

What is competition? As bad as GFLW was, no space can go without competition. Fortunately there are some other contenders in this space such as Origin and Desura but Steam is still managing to provide the most consumer friendly service (as consumer friendly as a system with DRM can be..).
Goodbye and good riddance.
Using GFWL is like pulling teeth with a pair of pliers.
'Oh, you just bought a game and can't wait to play it. Too bad fuck head, you need to download this update.
Sorry, that update didn't actually install properly. You'll have to dig for a solution on the net and download an update manager.
You installed the update! Here's another one we you need to install, so I'll chuck you out again! And again! [I]And again[/I].'
GFWL can burn in hell.

This, I spent almost 3 hours just to get Dead Rising 2 running. First it forces me to update, then the install fails. Now I have to restart my computer, try all kind of weird things. Eventually I have to edit some things in the [B]registry[/B] just to get Games for Windows Live to update. I can't believe how bad this is for people who aren't tech savy, they probably will never get it running.
Steam>Social Club>GFW arghh

Nooo not my Fable 3 !:suicide:
Why y'all worried about Dark Souls? Dark Souls 2 is out before this goes down!
(I'm not serious)
This shit should've been put down and replaced more than a year ago.
Will this affect Dawn of War 2 and Chaos Rising? I remember having to log into GFWL even just to play the campaign.
Guess people had better start contacting some devs to ask if they're gonna patch their games once this goes down. It's great that no future games will use this piece of shit but it would be a shame to see some older games lost because of this.
Personally I'll be throwing an inquiry to FROM Software, I couldn't bare losing my Dark Souls. :v:

Christ, even in death GFWL sucks.
I spent about 2 hours trying to get a gamertag registration to work in order to play GTA4, then it ran awfully on my shitty PC so I immediately uninstalled it.
If it weren't for GFWL I wouldn't have had to wait for so long to know it wouldn't play properly.
Does that mean I need to install the games for them to activate them (like Dark Souls and Fabel 3) in order for them to work? I've never played them and wanted to :(
How did ANY developer/company think that GFWL was an added bonus for their game???
I remember GFWL always completely fucking up when you installed hamachi or tunngle, as it always thought that those are the new main internet adapters
[QUOTE=redBadger;41894497]it's bound to be replaced with something better, hence why that Valve guy joined up[/QUOTE]
They probably closed it because they asked that guy to make it better than Steam and he just loled at them
[QUOTE=redBadger;41894620]GTAV will be out by then so you'd have no reason to actually play GTAIV[/QUOTE]
That's like saying you don't need to play HL1 because HL2 came out.
