GFW Live are you Relevant?
ghnvt \| 7:38 PM on 07.22.2008	13 comments

GFW Live has been released to the free world...for free, but wait people actually paid for this stuff. I know that we all pay for the Live service on the 360 because we have no other alternative, but on the PC, games have been online for a decade or more. There is this little program out there that some people use call Ventrilo that allows players to play and talk at the same time. Microsoft is finally realizing that NO ONE IS GOING TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THEY CAN GET FOR FREE! I digress, now GFW needs good games to succeed. *Steps off soap box*

Well fair there are solutions like ventrillo on the PC but they are only free if you have the bandwidth and server to spare to run them. Most servers I have used were actually the servers that someone in the guild paid for. Same really goes for a lot of FPS servers its cool that you can enjoy these for free but understand they are definitely not free for some one. For smaller groups of voice chat Skype is free though.

Or I should say most vent servers I have used are on a hosting service.

Well it seems dead in my opinion.

lol....

I dont think itll ever take off because its competing pretty directly with Steam, which is a well established service that does everything better and does other stuff too (the store, the community, etc). These days games either support themselves, or go through steam, or both (like Cod 4).

Don't forget about X-BAND for the Genesis!

Oh someone else did post about this. Well at least my post is in the form of a news write-up and not a should-be forum topic.

;P

I thought you were referring to GFW Radio (My fave non-destructoid podcast) and came in here fuming mad ready to kill you but then I come in and see that you were talking about that scam.

The only way LIVE on PC is ever going to gain any degree of popularity is if they allow developers to incorporate achievements, leaderboards etc. into their titles without having to subscribe to the whole Games for Windows thing.

And cross platform multiplayer is a joke, there's like, what, 4 games that use it?
