harjas Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Games for Windows Live has been in a Schrödinger's service-style quandary since last year, when a (quickly deleted) Age of Empires Online support update claimed it would shut down this July 1st. Ever since, it's been suspended in an atmosphere of non-life: functional, yet dead—many of its games fleeing for the safety of a Steamworks alternative. Lending credence to its demise was Microsoft's complete lack of follow-up statement. Their silence suggested that they'd rather forget about the existence of the client... and of the PC entirely. Now, though, just over a week before its apparent closure, Microsoft have rumbled into life—their new statement revealing a plan of "continuing to support the Games for Windows Live service". http://m.pcgamer.com/2014/06/23/microsoft-say-they-are-continuing-to-support-the-games-for-windows-live-service/ :doh: Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALPHA17 Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 *facepalm* .... So what happens to games that moved to Steamworks. Dual support or something? This is fking stupid. I think they will be completely integrated into SteamWORKS, dual support is way to risky and we all know how that turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
