Microsoft Corp. announced the GFWL Marketplace to be shutdown on August 22, 2013.
All games on this service will no longer be available to purchase.
In addition to the marketplace shutdown, Microsoft announced that Games for Windows LIVE service as a whole will be shutdown on July 1, 2014. All games using this service will no longer be able to function completely. Including multiplayer for many games. There were several good games available on GFWL but sadly MS decided to not support the PC market and effectively shutdown and pushed aside PC gamers.
GFWL was heavily criticized by many gamers for being unnecessary for gaming and a struggle to make games work correctly. Many games including GTA IV, Batman AA & AC, Gears of War PC, Halo 2, Shadowrun, Bioshock 2 and many more had problems with patches, download, and sometimes just running the game.
Gamer have rejoiced that MS will finally be shutting down the crippled service come July 1. 2014.
This video is for documentation purposes only. I only made this so others in the future can see what GWFL Marketplace was and how outrageous the prices were for many games.
