GFWL is already dead, Microsoft should have stopped flogging it 2 years ago.  As soon as they tried to start charging PC gamers to play it was never going to get the gamers onside.  Even if it was completely free now, for everything, there will always be the nagging doubt in many PC gamers minds they would start charging as soon as they could.

The reason charging for GFWL online play didn't work is because they didn't deliver appealing software. It can be done but you need to offer something more than a late port of Halo 2. Just ask the millions of people that pay for MMORPGs.

For the record, online play is free now on GFWL. I say that because you said, "Even if it was completely free ." Were you not aware?

I thought it was but I didn't want to stake my reputation on what I'd read rather than tried.  On my PC I have a couple of titles but I sign in with my Gold account anyway so couldn't ever confirm.  You'll still never get gamers paying to play FPS online, it doesn't matter how appealing you make it imo.
