If you have any MS points to spend or want to buy some DLC for any GFWL titles do it before then as MS announced its being shutdown you can still download previously bought content but I would not wait too long as MS have a long track record of closing something down with little notice like this having only given gamers 1 week to react :rolleyes:

Who cares mate

I completed them all ages ago just a friendly headsup to those PC gamers who want/need to buy DLC or games like Blacklight Retribution for 80 pence really also it was the only place to buy Gears Of War1 on PC so once thats shutdown you can no longer buy it digitally so its gone forever (lots of people still play it daily its a decent game with a full level editor).

Did you get a Dead Space 3 origin key??

Neil79 · 15 Aug 2013 at 19:49

I purchased the origin pack and gave all the games away apart from Dead Space 3

Hehe, good riddance.

Boycey0211 · 15 Aug 2013 at 23:14

good, it was horrendous anyway

Witcher1979 · 15 Aug 2013 at 23:26

it is only the download marketplace, GFWL itself will still be working. People shoudl really go and buy Gears Of War before it is gone to buy for good, we got the better version, graphics are nice/extras scenes and a decent level editor.

Also, I think it's the only way to get Minerva's Den for Bioshock 2?

Bioshock 2 and DLC are being transfered over to steam with controller support added as well. No ETA yet though.

Will not be missed

No great loss, diabolical software.

Martini1991 · 16 Aug 2013 at 08:33

They should put Gears Of War on Steam.

Antar Bolaeisk · 16 Aug 2013 at 08:40

So what happens now to all the games infected with this crap, do we lose all the additional content in such games as the Batman: Arkham series?

Adsta · 16 Aug 2013 at 08:44

RIP ?

If they had tried to be competitive, then it's shutdown would be a terrible thing.

That no one appears to be impacted negatively by its impending shutdown speaks volumes.
