Earlier this morning, we received a news tip via carrier pigeon. Nothing too out of the ordinary, at least in comparison to some of the insanity that takes place at this fine establishment. But what really got me interested was the tip's opening statement.
I'm paraphrasing here, but it essentially amounted to "you guys cover anything and everything related to Steam, so why not give Games for Windows a chance too?" You know what? The guy has a strong point, which leads us to the meat of this post.
Batman: Arkham Asylum is going to be a Games for Windows LIVE title. That means achievements, and uh ... I'm not entirely sure what else. But props to the GFW LIVE team for securing another title, because lord only knows they need it after getting the absurd amount of flack they currently do.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

You know it's gonna come to Steam anyway. GFWL just makes the package heavier and, frankly, annoying.
Over the past 4-5 years I've used and enjoyed Steam, and it gets better every day.
GFWL, on the other hand, reminds me of Xbox Live -- something I've subscribed to on Xbox because of no other choice, but have always found far inferior to PC online gaming. I didn't mind it in Fallout 3, and it's okay in DaW II -- except for matchmaking... another abomination..
PC gamers love steam. It's just everyone is whining at the moment because of Total War.
Windows Live is horrible.
everyone whines at the moment when anything happens at Steam.(what 2 weeks ago DoW2) Always the constant "Valve doesnt do sht for us"
I think the only way PC gamers are happy is when the game is just put out for free everyone can use and hack and cheat and still expect perfect servers up and running forever and official patches on a regular basis.
I like how you think everyone shares your opinion. Specially when more and more people have stopped buying retail and only use Steam now. But I guess you and your little buddies represent the entire PC user base and not the 1,374,962 people using Steam at this very moment.
(check their Stats page)
im not saying people are not using it. im saying people COMPLAINING about it. how many users are bitching, whining, complaining, ever good enough?
Please, stop trying to turn the PC into a console.
It got much much much better. I still prefer STEAM for PC but you can't have ONLY steam, that'd be a monopoly and that's never good.
