It's also not important that we hear your experience. The truth is there are thousands of complaints about GFWL, possibly a lot more.

There's a reason why GFWL is on it's death bed after 3 and half years it's launch. You have to wonder how much MS respects PC gamers when they tried to force us to pay for using GFWL, one of the worst DD services on PC.

Why should PC gamers use GFWL, when there are dozens of better DD services on PC? And it's not just Steam, but also Gamersgate, Impulse, Metaboli, Gametap, etc...

I love GFWL, no problems playing or installing games, I wish more games used the service. Love the intergraion with XBL. They are having an insane $0.99 sale for the past week on a ton of their titles.

I also love this from the site-

Digital Rights Management Disclosure. This software uses digital rights management software (“DRM”). DRM may limit the number of times you are permitted to install this software on a computer and/or the number of computers to which you may install the software. To function properly, DRM downloads certain data and files to your computer, which may or may not be uninstalled when you uninstall the software.

Absolutely laughable. Either MS doesn't know what DRM each title uses, or they can't be arsed specifying it.

I hope you still enjoy Batman Arkham Asylum, well except for the fact it's tied to GfWL.

I've never had a problem with gfwl (my first experience was with warhammer) . In fact I like how it links  my gmertags. I use it along side steam and will probably continue to support them both as I would hate for either to get a monopoly on digital game distribution and steam looks to be headed that way. I wouldn't say its on its deathbed either. To me it looks like they are gearing up for a comeback. Especially with the deals they are doing, I am sure they are just trying to get gfwl on more machines right now, and than maybe relaunch it so it can better compete with steam.

It's an excellent game, just a pity it came encumbered with that pish.

For whatever ununderstandable reason, I can't spit my fury over GfWL forums, it says I need a fucking useless gametag that I have already. This is more than utter BS.

I have to agree.   Next to Steam I found GFWL pretty poor.  I now avoid using it.  More and more games seem to be dropping it and switching to Steam, although I get the feeling MS is throwing around some money/pressue to try and get some momentum back into the system.  My issue with it (other than it's obvious flaws) is that it doesn't feel fully focused on PC.  I never really believe MS have that strong a commitment to it vs Valve. 

Exactly. And the way for MS to grow the service is not through throwing its weight around or offering money hats. It has to be better than Steam and it has to have exclusive content (simultaneous PC releases of MS's 360 games is essential, rather than canning games or releasing them months or years later). Above all MS has to convince PC gamers that it's actually interested in the platform and that it's not just offering a half-baked version of XBox Live. Not having to sign in to the XBox site or receiving receipts from the XBox Live team would be a start.

I honestly think the best way for ms to grow the service is exactly what they are doing. Offering great deals on games just like steam does. It will get the program on peoples computers, and once people have they are more likely to buy games through and use it. I guess we'll see how it pans out. But i have seen more post about gfwl since they started doing deals than i ever did before.
