According to a website I visit, Games for Windows Live is now entirely free. I wasn't able to find any other sources (and the website didn't provide any), but the website in question is reputable.

Upon checking the actual Game for Windows site, it appears that Games for Windows Live (including the Gold Subscription) is now free.

Check it out here!

Does my 360 Gamertag gets automatically "updated" or do I have to create a new one? :S

EDIT:
Neither my Gamertag or E-Mail lets me sign in. Gay.

and Nintendo would be going "crap, there goes are plan to have a service like x-box live and make money off of it", but apparently they don't care about the "hard core gamers", or any real "gamer" for that matter.

Why should they care about "hardcore gamers"? Their old principle customers bought whatever stuff they crapped out as long as it said Mario or Metroid on it. They will just continue that trend.

The casual gamers are where the money is at. I can't blame Nintendo for pursuing bigger heaps of cash, I mean, that's what they have always been doing right?

You need a Windows LIVE account, it works on the Xbox 360.

Shocklink · July 24, 2008, 07:42:29 PM
