why did they wait to release it on steam?

Steam is the largest digital distribution service for PC games so this greatly increases sales potential. Also, to use the game people have to install GFWL.

MS has a smart strategy in my opinion. They aren't ignoring their biggest competition. They are using it as a way to get more people on GFWL.

However, GFWL still needs improvements on the interface. I thought the Fable 3 launch would be the perfect time to do it, but I'm doubting they will.

It would also be nice if they let people outside their 35 supported countries play online but they are pretty slow adding new countries...

Thos I guess by releasing it on steam I will noe have the opertunity to buy a digital copy as the GFW online store doesn't accept my debet card as it's not from one of the supported countries aparently even tho they say NZ is supported...
