Why Do People Have A Problem With Games For Windows Live?

[Manic Jorge]

it's really not even that bad i never have problems with it

[XenoEvil]

How about trying to download a game for hours on end to only have the download fail.

[HEART]

Cause it's Windows

[Black Blade]

I had problems with it, and i think some had as well, i mean after working on it for a while i got it working, but it was not great fun to look for it, and get it working
Steam DRM is much lighter i mean you don't even really feel it

[Snapjak]

The only real problem I had with it was that it wasn't even a HALF assed attempt. It was like a quarter assed attempt. Calling it shoddy is giving anything that is actually shoddy a bad name.

It's still up and running. The only they shut down is the store, and the ability to use it on new games.

Do a clean install of your PC, then install one of the first games that used GfWL, without being smart and downloading an updated client, but instead be a regular user trying to use the version the game shipped with. Good luck getting the game up and running!

Funny when i tried to use it for Fable 3 my game would not even work.. and GFWL couldn't even find it or fix issues with it..

And no it has been discontinued even if microsoft likes to say otherwise.. you find any game that is using it these days.

Which is again 100% false

GFWL still exist

The GFWL service still exist

The MARKETPLACE is the only thing that is shut down

And no it has been discontinued even if microsoft likes to say otherwise.. you find any game that is using it these days.

And lets reiterate again shall we. GFWL is not dead. Note you don't get to decide the nomenclature. GFWL is not dead. GFWL exists and is supported by Microsoft.

The only thing you need to do is download GFWL from Microsoft directly

Once you do, and reboot multiple times, the client works fine

It was discontinued then MS changed their minds and well the GFWL servers no longer exist, try looking up account details after uninstalling try doing pretty much anything.. the cloud services are gone.

Again 100% FALSE If you insist on spreading false information based on your own ignorance that's your problem.

try lookng up account details after uninstalling try doing pretty much anything.. the cloud services are gone.

Lets reiterate again that only the Marketplace is gone. GFWL is alive. The servers exist. The service exists.

TRON 2.0 will not work without the unofficial patch.

Not tried TRON Evolution yet had no idea its a GFWL game, most games have been patched out.
My Fable 3 is retail not Steam, it wont even run with GFWL anymore.
