The funniest thing about GfWL is that Microsoft originally wanted you to pay for its premium 'features', which as far as I could make out were achievements, matchmaking and playing Shadowrun against 360 owners.

I remember that very well. It failed so miserably bad. Then people go around saying that the 360 online is better than the PC online.....

GFWL - the acronym even looks like godawful. :D

I have absolutely no idea why devs choose to integrate games with GFWL instead of Steam. How much is m$ honestly paying them that they'd wanna rape their sales like that? >_>

Fortunately, it looks like the SecuROM has been removed. It appears that the entry on the Steam page was actually a mistake. Sadly, it still uses GfWL, but I suppose you can't have everything.

Why is GfWL bad?  You can still have dedicated server games on there.  Section 8 for example.  (only one off the top of my head)

It's probably a straight console port so it will likely use P2P.

I don't know where to begin to make fun of GFWL to be honest. Whether it's the problems with DLC (which I never buy anyhow, but some do), weird installatioins, having to be logged in while playing single-player, or a bunch of other "features" which are hilariously bad. Do yourself a favor and pirate the game so you don't have to put up with this shit.

Lol, or just don't pirate it and don't buy, or get it for consoles

Or I pirate it, the dev notices the they fucked up their game due to high piracy and in the future they change their wayse. The incident with EA proved that piracy does indeed change developers' views on things. Also if 2K patches out the shit in their game I will gladly buy it.

Nah, they'll just have one more reason to stop supporting PC and keep shifting everything over to consoles.  You pirates really are only hurting yourselves
