Hi everyone,
I have started this post since I would like to see all Games for Windows Games enabled with the LIVE service so we can receive achievements, use chat, talk to friends and enjoy the rest of it benfits. In the world of Xbox even the NON-LIVE Non multiplayer games can still connect to the LIVE service and you can get achievements and gamer score on those games. We PC users are left playing the same great games with out the rewards or achievements. If you like the LIVE service and want to see all future games LIVE enabled speak up. We want Microsoft to make the LIVE enabled feature and achievements across all games. So Microsoft please make the Games for Windows LIVE platform mandatory for any developers that want to be branded Games for Windows. Thanks for reading.
Regards,
eastmanblues

PS. Please do not reply to post if you do not agree with the above. This is not a thread for people who do not like the LIVE service, as there are already threads for that topic.
While I agree with you about this for the most part, I have to remind EVERYONE of one thing;
as a PC gaming community as a whole, we fought tooth and nail to get LIVE for free, I myself am happy that we did get this, and am quite happy with the few games we do get with achievements. But really I'd be happy with just the multiplayer aspect of LIVE, the achievements hold little other than a passing interest for me, in fact I see them as little more than a quaint perk.
Regardless, having been one of those who argued (quite diligently I might add with an email campaign on my own part) with Microsft to get LIVE for free, I knew there would be some concessions to be had. I can live with this. Again, if we only get the multiplayer, I'm happy.
But still, consider me as having signed your petition, as of course as a whole it would be nice, and I want nothing more than to support this community, which is one of the best in forum land that I have had the honor of being part of.
Sorry i would not sign on anything that force on something that is unncessary. PC gaming is free unlike consoles. Developers have the right to choose any service that they like.
As for GFWL concerned iam not sure what makes it unique apart from cross platform and gamerscore.
They are few things that i like MS to fix:-
1. GFWL to be available in all countries.
2. CD KEY exploits to be fixed.
3. What is within opening many ports so that LIVE can get into?. How is that other services has no problems?.
4. Make signup process is easy.

Eastman didn't say he wanted ALL PC GAMES to have acheivements.. he said that it should be a requirement for those titles that choose to be branded as Games for Windows.
EpicScroll: 2. CD KEY exploits to be fixed.
Thats being fixed with version 3.0. Its going to be interesting to see which users here all of sudden stop getting LIVE games, when in the past they were getting all of them.

Yeah, I'm anxiously awaiting the update to find that out
If you have a problem and don't speak English well, send me an email or a message through the Live guide in Dutch, German, French or Danish.

It is basically the same thing.
I just hope this fix.
I been to a forum where they were happy to pirate all LIVE games and enjoy free legal servers without paying a dime. I have submiited that link Socross. Iam not sure if they LIVE team got that link. Now all of them are waiting for SF 4.
I agree with eastman blues, I think every Games For Windows Live game should be live accessable. It makes it fun and exciting. So lets keep signing this petition and get things moving forward.
I agree with this and i like the idea. Now Please also read the Origional post before posting as it states not to reply if you dont agree with this as this is not really a discution topic to complain or agrue about, its just designed as a petition.
somehow my reply got double posted after hitting submit. sorry guys :P
As much as I do like achievements and increasing my gamerscore...the only reason I will agree to this is that the LIVE service allows to see what my friends are doing and invite them into games and chat with them. Gamerscore is nice but an accessible friends list integrated into many games is my thing. (btw ppl may say steam has this already but I do not like steam) OH...I'm with you bro!
I will agree TO A POINT.. I like the LIVE service, even with its flaws.. but if having LIVE as a mandatory requirement for the GfW label MAKES THAT ONE PUBLISHER TURN AWAY, I dont want it.. its perfect the way it is.. We need as many publishers as we can to support us.. the more that flock this way, the better the "platform" becomes and eventually there will be a time that we have PC games with acheivements that contribute to that gamerscore and an integrated marketplace, etc.
NEED MOAR Peoples!! Then more good stuff will come.
Cheers.
Actuallyy, I think it would be funny if Microsoft made it so every game released for PC after a point had to be GFW. Except that might increase Mac sales. And that wouldn't be good for our money hound, now would it? But I agree COMPLETELY.

Yes, I want it mandatory for all GFW games to go LIVE. This is just my opinion, but I think that we wouldn't be stuck with so little LIVE titles if all (or most) GFW games were LIVE enabled.
There are just some GFW games out there that soo deserve a LIVE title, like Demigod.
Need help? Send me a messege through LIVE or make a new post in Malay or Chinese if English isn't your first language.
