Well I guess if you never had a problem then certainly no one else could have.

I have had nothing but bad experiences and at this point I won't even buy a game with GFWL.

The only game I own on GFWL is Gears of War and I love it. I have zero problems with it but Vsync does not work :(

Do they still require a gold membership to play online? Paying for xbox live to play games that use GFWL is ridiculous.

Fortunately no, all you have to do is get it to work. That's the hard part.

I never really understood what people are doing to make GFWL suck as much as they say it does.

Yet I never had a single issue?

Sometimes I doubt half the people complaining have even used it.

HA. Used to play age of empires 1 with my friend via dial up. I hosted and his comp dialed in. Same w/ starcraft.

This + the fact that GFWL and Origin both tend to be highly in favor of limited activations. Soon I'll have to log into mg toaster to use it.
AMD, I give up.

I guess I have been lucky as I have never had a problem with any GFWL
game. Every one of them were basickly the same run the game >log into GFWL>play the game.

Really it ionly takes a few seconds longer and you only
Have to do it one time.
