Steam, Schmeam. Games on Demand for Windows LIVE also offers promotional pricing for select premium games. For example, starting tomorrow and running until March 1st, you'll be able to pick up Batman: Arkham Asylum for 75% percent off its digital price.
According to Major Nelson-san, this is the start of something fun. A new game's price will be slashed each weekend in March. The game and the deal will be announced through Nelson's Twitter, which seems like a devilish way to net extra followers.

YMMV
But yeah, I only have limited space on my windows partition, I'm not going to install something that's like steam for 1 game. I know nothing about GFWL to be fair, but I don't like making accounts for one thing, and prefer to keep as many games as possible in the same place.
To whoever thinks that this gives Steam the monopoly:
1) Some deals mentioned on the site lately have been d2d and GFWL only, not Steam...
2) I like having everything in the same place, being able to reinstall whenever I want and to not have to install multiple programs or create multiple accounts and stuff. I'm lazy and I underestimated how much usage my partition would get. Meh.
Thanks Brad for letting us know though.
Best 2009 game, and now I'm finally buying it =D
YEAH! that's right: microsoft doesn't want me to honestly pay for my games. Games on demand doesn't work in Brasil yet. Instead, they want me to buy piracy.
I just can't believe I'm loosing this deal. I'm so pissed off....
FUCK YOU MICROSOFT!!!!!
