Neither EA, Activision Blizzard or Ubisoft have published any games under the Live service. EA and Activision have released one or two games with the GFW branding, but none have supported GFW Live.
Having games like The Sims, Call of Duty, Battlefield, FIFA, Crysis, Commmand and Conquer and Wolfenstein on the Live service would bring a massive boost to the amount of players...
well EA said NO to Dante Inferno on PC...so i guess EA got tired of the PC (piracy)
Reson for no publishers that signed up for GFW Live is that everyone wants absolute control over what can and cannot be done and money of course. Also PC gaming is on downhill slope too.
Because EA got their own online store and such.
Activision got Quantum of Solace, what are you talking about (even though they are the publishers.)
Ubisoft meh.
BRB.
Activision does support GFWL from what I've seen in stores. The reason is those companies are still able to sell PC games at a huge quantity so stuff that will sell pretty will may not be GFWL game because a small fraction of GFW games cash goes to Microsoft.
EA are well know for doing things there way & on their terms only. Anyone remember when Xbox live first launched & EA didn't support it, due to them not being able to dictate terms to MS as much as they liked? (took them over a year to get an agreement going iirc)
Activision support GFW & have one GFWL title out. No idea why they haven't done more for GFWL
Ubisoft, honestly couldn't care less about them if I tried these days. out of all their announced games, the only one that even slightly interests me is Assassins creed 2
EA is crap & I am glad they will not be apart of this service. But when they see good sales, they will probably jump on the band wagon. They already flipped flopped on Madden PC, I guess they figured it was the last one, why not give the PC madden fans the last installment.
Blizzard will fall into the category that Valve is in. They have their own model for distributing games. Plus both of them have there own network, so they wouldn't use the Live network.

What about Hereos Over Europe? Since they took over control of that IP a while back. Though I doubt it would be a live title anymore if it really ever was one.

There are many developer branches to even go through them. That is one main reason this has not happened, some even shadowed over by Activision Blizzard.
nope, not even heroes over europe. Me & ubisoft have a long running hate - hate relationship.

Whoops lol, sorry about that. Pretty tired and such.
I have to say I respect that in a way, not caving into a game because of possible Live service. Anyway, I know how you feel on in some departments I did like Cyan Worlds. If that is one reason why you dislike Ubisoft.
