Microsoft Planning To Discontinue GFWL Service

19 August, 2013 - instantmash | 0 Comments

Microsoft launched the Games for Windows Live service on May 29th 2007 to enable gamers to connect with each other, earn achievements, and play cross-platform games with Xbox 360 users. It has since grown into a full on competitor to other similar services like Valve's Steam and EA's Origin as a full suite targeted mainly towards gamers to download games, communicate and play with friends, and to be used as a main gaming "hub" on PC.

The Age of Empires Online support page has recently noted that "Games for Windows Live will be discontinued on July 1, 2014." The note has since been removed from the page, but IGN saved a screencap: http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/stg.ign.com/2013/08/GFW_is_Dead-610x615.jpg.

It seems to me that Microsoft may be finally admitting defeat, after 6 years of keeping the struggled Games for Windows Live service afloat. To me, the "features" this service brought with it always seemed as if they were in constant beta, always getting in the way other than being helpful.
