All I can say is F@ck Valve and F@ck Steam. I rather have GFWL than the shitty DRM that is Steam. Valve is pushing me closer and closer to pirating games locked with their crap. Why can't companies also use other DD platforms, too, like Impulse?

Haha your sig is epic.

You guys need to stop being mean to Shio. Yes, so he is blowing things out of proportion. But who doesn't? And yes, we all know GFW Live has always sucked. But so did Steam almost 6 years ago.

Great sig. Btw, there are great PC games that don't come with that crap. Torchlight is a recent example.

MS doesn't give a rats ass if Fallout Vegas requires Steam or not.

They don't get any money for GFWL games...

Erm...

Why do you think they went to such lengths to create and (for a time) promote Games for Windows Live?
