Dark Souls is kind of a big deal. After much fan campaigning, it was recently announced on the Dark Souls Facebook page that the game was going to be released on PC with some extra content. It’s a pretty big win for PC gamers; the game was practically begging to be on the PC platform anyway. However celebration was extremely short lived as it was announced that the game will be utilizing Games For Windows Live instead of the more popular Steam. Commence the whining!
Steam is changing its refund policy, but you probably won’t be affected
Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.
I'm not sure why you're getting disgrees. Whilst not all PC gamers are petty, an awful lot of them are lol
Entirely untrue. Not any more petty than console gamers. The only large difference is console gamers don't have much of a choice.
Not sure why you're getting agrees. an awful lot of console gamers are overemotional twinks ready to go to war over a plastic box, I'll take being a pc gamer then.
Speaking about overgeneralizing much.
Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.
Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?
You can refund any game you've purchased as long as it hasn't been longer than two weeks, and you've played less than 2 hours. I wish they would change it to 3 hours because some RPG's have so much exposition that you may only get an hour total of complete gameplay. That's my only knock on it. I've refunded plenty of stuff I was just curious to try. I typically stay away from Early Access titles which are the only ones affected by this policy change.
Apparently early access doesn't count, only complete games with a play early preorder bonus.
I never liked refunding anything. Even if a film is bad, i dont want my money back. Sometimes things just aren't for me, and it's not the creator's fault necessarily.
I feel you and i have never walked out on a bad movie cause I payed my money. I also don't refund games cause I'm a gamer and I know what to buy lol. I think having a digital refund is great.
Blindfolding myself and clicking a Steam page at random would serve me better recommendations than Steam’s algorithm
Hmm, not sure I agree with that. The recommendations I get are usually pretty good, but then again I have pretty large library of games on Steam and hundreds of them in my wish list, along with lots of curators I follow for it to build recommendations off of. On occasion it will throw me a random FIFA game or something I've never bought or shown interest in, but mostly its decent IMO.

Anger... Hate... Well, I might have gotten it had it been on Steam. Though I guess I'll just wait for the console version to drop a bit more in price before picking it up.
"I don’t have access to sales figures so I can’t comment on the viability of it one way or another. However there are definitely people that have little to no issues with the service because they are still in business."
Here you go,

Thought Warner Bros. and Crapcom were the only two publishers still being bought off to jam GFWL into their PC games. Most realize there's more money in Steamworks from users simply appreciating you not shoehorning a crappy service into their game.
Is this really going to be the new trend? Whenever anyone speaks up about something they don't like, even something as universally hated as GFWL, bloggers are going to fire up their greasy keyboards and slap together an N4G-ready, fan-smearing turd about how everyone who holds a legitimate concern is simply a "whiner"? It's a terrible service. It should have been removed from all PC games long ago.
Don't get me wrong, I would prefer the game to be available on Steam. Simply because I prefer to just have one application for my games and not 3 (Steam, Origin & GFWL) but it doesn't bother me to the point where I'm not going to buy the game because of it.
When I first played the game, I was addicted to it and I have every intention of getting it for the PC so I can access the extra content and play the game in true 1080p at 60FPS instead of sub-720p at 10FPS on the console version.
Yes, Dark Souls not being available on Steam is a bit of a pain in the ass but c'mon people, don't let that hinder your decision to purchase a fantastic game. : )
I understand the passionate hate for GFWL, but I don't get why anyone would lose out on playing a game they petitioned to get ported to the PC. If you truly wanted to play Dark Souls, then man the f**k up and support From Sofware/Namco who only decided to port this due to high interest. Now you want to back stab them after they granted your wish?? Using GFWL may be an inconvenience, but the game will still work and play the way it supposed to play.
