Games for Windows - Questions

[Lordmarkus]

So I just recently finished the main quest in Fallout 3 and my game was put to an end. I've already decided to buy the expansions so I bought "Broken Steel" so could keep playing from the main quest. I was a little worried about GFWL beause all these stories that it is horrible, but for me it worked out fine. Not as good as Steam but it worked. Now I have some questions about GFWL if the community should be so nice to answer them.

- If I have to reinstall Fallout 3 in case of computer crash or change of computer, is the the Fallout 3 expansions saved on my GFWL account or must I save the game files on a external harddrive?

- Also, what is so bad about GFWL? I've read in some other threads that it does something with the save files and are in general pretty shitty. I ask, what so bad with it? I think it works fine.

Thanks.

Why does this happen to all my threads? :/

I believe anything you buy through GFWL is tied to your account, so you can redownload if anything goes wrong.

Edit: To answer your second question, I like GFWL too, because I also have a Xbox account tied to it. All things Microsoft for me is tied to one account. I guess people find things in GFWL unneeded because they have things set to different accounts. But I don't know.
