August 17, 201312 yr Yet another PC game-related service from Microsoft shuts down... This time, Games for Windows LIVE Marketplace. Thankfully, the GFW LIVE online game service will still work, but you can no longer buy games directly from Microsoft. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2046824/its-game-over-for-games-for-windows-live-microsoft-shutters-pc-marketplace.html#tk.fb_pc i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB

August 17, 201312 yr Commercial Member Good riddance, it was really clunky, difficult to use and i much prefer steam Alex I agree, I've never felt like buying anything from their marketplace and I've always hated GFWL... Somehow I managed to create multiple profiles with same name/email and now for some games I never know which one to use, GFWL is just so much trouble.

Hopefully the actual service continues to work for a long time, as I just recently bought some GFWL games... i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB
August 17, 201312 yr Commercial Member I wonder does this affect those looking for Flight content. They've stated that any content that has been purchased from the store (not just Flight content, but any other GFWL games and add-ons) will still be downloadable through the GFWL client, but no new purchases will be possible.

August 17, 201312 yr MS has been on a failure streak since BIll Gates handed over the reigns to Ballmer. I guess their console division has been doing alright but everything else has been going down hill.
August 18, 201312 yr MS has been on a failure streak since BIll Gates handed over the reigns to Ballmer. I guess their console division has been doing alright but everything else has been going down hill. Their console almost hit a snag with XBox One and their attempt to use the Flight model to overly control content. PS4 almost ran away with the market if MS didn't back down from that path.
