Free Games For Windows Live
Microsoft’s efforts to present Games For Windows Live service, which promised an Xbox Live like online experience with unified friend lists ,voice chat, cross-platform play between PC and console, is about to shrug off its chief criticism: cost. Microsoft officially announced today that it is ending the XBL-style tiered pricing structure – which put Gold membership at $49.99 a year of – and making the service free for all users.
The change is effective right away, affecting all recent GFW Live titles (such as Shadowrun and Halo 2) as well as upcoming releases. MS is also set to develop the service through a GFW Live Marketplace, due this fall. Like the XBL Marketplace, store will offer free and paid downloadable content, trailers, and demos
other than these announcements, MS is struggling to make the GFW Live interface more PC friendly together with reducing the technical requirements for developers.
