You forgot the free virus that is WGTFO.Andy Chalk said:So, a free game on GfW or some throwaway crap on Steam - what's it going to be, internet?
Sorry, viruses are small and well-written.

aashell13 said:Its also frustrating and difficult to use to the point of being broken. I was forced into using it because they left the GFWL DRM in the steam version of BioShock 2, and nothing about the experience made me want to come back. In fact, it was so bad that if I see GFWL on a box somewhere or in the system's requirements now, I just keep walking. The sheer frustration just isn't worthwhile, no matter how good the game itself might be.Ghengis John said:What's everyone's problem with Games For Windows Live anyways? Other than not possessing the most replete library.
See now I never had a problem with it. I already had an Xbox live account, I told it "Bind to this live ID" and everything ran swimmingly and I had it for a few titles without any hassles.gigastar said:Its about as user friendly as a brick. Just like a brick, you stick it somewhere then it innately resists all attempts to do anything else with it.Ghengis John said:What's everyone's problem with Games For Windows Live anyways?

Besides its more a case of Steam and other DDP's being better, much better.
That's the rub. it doesn't work well at all in the other direction.Ghengis John said:See now I never had a problem with it. I already had an Xbox live account, I told it "Bind to this live ID" and everything ran swimmingly and I had it for a few titles without any hassles.
GamingAwesome1 said:Despite the offer of a free game, people are still probably gonna get the Steam version on the virtue of avoiding GFWL.
Even the Steam version will be Games For Windows: LIVE installed. I don't need another Dawn of War. Go away, Microsoft.Kraj said:Steam it is.
Didn't that ship already broke in half? (think: "titanic")Gennadios said:The only way Microsoft is even throwing PC gamers a bone with an Xbox exclusive is because they they're trying desperately to keep their own sinking ship afloat.
Believe it or not, Fable is what got me back into gaming. A bunch of my friends during my freshman year of college grouped together to convert one dorm room into a chill hangout and gaming room. One guy had Fable and Knights of the Old Republic. I got addicted to those games after not having played any games for like 5 years prior.Irridium said:Of course, when 2 came out 1 all of a sudden became a "misunderstood classic" or something like that. While 2 became a piece of ass, despite improving on so many things. And now that Fable 3 is out, I see 2 getting a lot less hate.
So I wouldn't take what people say about the Fable games as buying advice.

I doesn't have to be, all Microsoft have to do is show a little restraint and common sense with a Digital distribution network and they'd be golden.Andy Chalk said:"There can be only one," as the saying goes, and in the world of digital distribution for the PC, that's Steam, plain and simple.
They are good at business... that's why they invented the Xbox!GamingAwesome1 said:Yes. Release a game on the PC way late behind the console version for full price, no less. And then do it on the same day The Witcher 2 comes out.
I thought you people were supposed to be good at business.
