Internet Petition Demands Dark Souls Drop GFWL

This petition just annoys me. Yeah, sure, people may have preferences, but the reasons they gave?
I'm guessing my ire just comes from listing reasons not to use it as "unpopular" and "unpleasant". It sounds very entitled, after the developers decided to release the game on a platform which wasn't initially in their plans.
Okay... I suppose this means no games should ever be released on GFWL or Origin or any service which isn't popular.
Bicycles are difficult to use at first. I've used GFWL and though I do prefer Steam/found Steam easier, it wasn't that much more complicated to push me away from using it.
Valid point if tieing in to the next part about the online aspect. In my experience I was usually unable to connect first time to in-game content.
I wouldn't know about online support - are they referring to like, customer support or to in game connectivity? Is the online aspect of Dark Souls really that important though to the experience?
Now that just strikes me as a troll statement.

Yeah, bitching about people bitching, that's solving the problem...-sarcasam-AnarchistAbe said:
Yes, tearing into the guy everyone else is tearing into for having an opinion. THAT will solve the problem...-sarcasm-Asuka Soryu said:
Remember when Rocksteady had problems with Batman Arkham City saves being deleted? The problem was GFWL. GTA IV had similar issues and for a few consecutive months the service was down so no games with GFWL could be saved.AnarchistAbe said:
I don't usually have any major problems with it, with the exception of losing my Batman Arkham City save when I had reached 80% completion and done all the campaigns, but I am aware of the problems others have had so I wont ignore that they exist.
Considering that any/every covenant interaction revolves around the multiplayer in some way, yes.Calcium said:
There are ways to farm the items needed off regular monsters to advance through a covenant, but it's much much more tedious and takes away from the role playing aspect of the game.
I find it funny that critics of "gamers bitching" always said we should stop bitching and do something about it. ie. vote with our wallets. Now that we are doing both, telling them that we won't buy it if they use GFWL and giving concrete reasons for doing so, we are being criticized again.Roboto said:
Why do people complain about complainers? Isn't that a little hypocritical?
Why steam or no sale? Steam is better than GFWL but its hardly what I would call a good platform, that kinda seams like yelling "Origin or no sale', yeah origin is bad but its better than GFWL so lets settle for that. Why don't people demand that they actually use a good platform rather than one that is just less shit.Andy Chalk said:
Yup...pretty much.AnarchistAbe said:
I stopped trying to start threads about most other games entirely. Unless it's Skyrim or some other universal chestnut, nobody is interested in talking unless there's controversy or bitching to be done.
It's getting to the point where I'm about to just say "fuck the forums entirely" and go back to lurking. Too much of the negative element.
I hear that. You've actually given me an idea! I'm going to build a subforum on my site for only positivity. I'll see how that goes, lol.Atmos Duality said:
I signed it, but I know it won't make a difference purely from a business standpoint. To be able to get everything they're already doing done in the amount of time Namco-Bandai has allotted them, they can't rewrite entirely new netcode. As it stands, they have to write hardly any, they can just port over the 360 code.
I'm just signing it to let them know for their next game, we won't stand for this shit. It's worked before.
It's called being a responsible consumer. That's how capitalism works. If there's something you don't like about a product, you let the people making it know. Then if enough people complain, they change it.AnarchistAbe said:
I've never had an issue with GFWL. Also, I doubt they will drop it, as this is usually a requirement due to the contracts Namco/Bandai would have to sign with Microsoft to secure the funding they needed to convert it.
Petitions won't fix everything. Sometimes they just ask to much. You got your PC port. Be happy. I know I certainly am.
