RIPIP GFWL, you will ... probably not be missed. Now comes the question how will games using this service work after it's killed? Dark Souls for example...

Good old Microsoft, treating their products like politicians treat public schools. "Our service isn't working? Better kill it!"

Hallelujah!

Oh shit, I'll have to use all my credits in the GFWL store!

 

Said no one ever.

RIPIP GFWL

Rest In Peace... In Piss? xD

 

But yeah, a legitimate concern is how will those games that use it work? I still play GTA IV online with friends every so often!

 

Still, never liked the service, it's always caused more problems than not!

Shame about all the games its going to mess up by going offline. Good that we won't have to deal with it in future titles.
