what is the benefit of releasing it on PC if they release it with such worthless software like GfwL? That software is buggy and bloated. Do not want, ever. And it will fail on PC because there isnt very many games that has ever been successful when attached to GfwL.

I like Dawn of War 2 perfectly fine. Though the GFWL aspect is absolue and utter trash and I really wish they had done somehing else for net play. Hell, even gamespy would have been better.

It's sad that it has come to the point where I think gamespy as a "pretty good" multiplayer provider. They have sucked hard ever since Bnet and Westwood Online came around. I also liked Heat.net a ton more until those bastards bought it out.

gamespy really cant even be called a service. I have maybe 4 games using their service downloaded through Steam. Just dont use their pos chat software and register a login you can remember your good.

Well it's still a service, back in the day they had he whole client and stuff. used to play HOMM3 and Army Man 2 and Rage of Mages 2 through it. Requiem as well and some other random games. Then they started being integrated into games. AoE used it, so did Rise of Nations, I think the new UT also uses it. Then again UT3 sucked so hard that's just a molecule of water in the proverbial water tower of problems. Titan Quest also ueses it I believe. Not that it was ever bad, it was just always way simple compared to Bnet or Westwood Online. All you ever got was a cha and a game browser and filters and that's it.

That is why it's so pathetic to see myself consider it a "pretty good" service now, it was at the bottom of the barrel just a few short years ago.

 

Edit: Some spelling and I know I missed a ton of others. FML, fuck my laptop, the keyboard in particular.
