Excellent! That $5 I used on RE5 won't go to waste then.

What if I bought a Capcom game through a digital outlet that wasn't Steam? I bought SFxT through GameFly, and that didn't activate on Steam.

Better get those achievements now before they go away forever.

What does this mean for Lost Planet: Colonies? Will it lose the cross platform online between PC and 360?
This was one of the games that had that? Are people still playing?

Good news, hope this means they're making them Steamworks.

Good. Good.
Your move, Namco Bandai Games Inc.

Most definitely. Once GFWL goes down next year, it wouldn't matter anyway as LPC players would then not be able to play online. If it actually gets updated with Steamworks, at least there's a chance PC players can at least continue to play together.
And last I checked a month or so ago, no one was playing this game online.

I'll believe it when someone with a last name says it is true.

Probably. But does it matter? Will people be playing LP1 on a 360 in 2014?

Is G. not a last name?

Just to be sure: Once GFWL is history, I won't be able to get the achievements (Gamerscore) anymore, right? Need to play my PC copy of Dead Rising 2 and RE5 before I lose this additional incentive.

I want to believe.
Yes, go get those points now.

Once GFWL is removed from the Steam copies, you will no longer be able to obtain Xbox achievements on the games if you bought them on Steam and do a new install or update to have the no-GFWL versions.
If you bought them somewhere else, you may or may not be able to each achievements. When GFWL is shut down entirely, they may or may not allow activation servers to work; may or may not allow logins to work; and may or may not award achievements. No one knows. Microsoft hasn't said. If you want to ensure 100% completion and you own the games on Steam, install them today, opt out of patches, and make sure you have completed 100% before July 1, 2014 at the latest.

I wish Arc did the same with BlackBerry.

I'd like to play devil's advocate here and say that GFWL was the reason why no one was playing and that any implementation of Steamworks would actually entice more people than ever to play online (if they do go through with it). Probably stupidly obvious what I just said, but hey, just putting it out there. I loved LP1's online, back in the day.
They might bring Steam Achievements into the occasion if they patch in Steamworks.
Well about a day latter in the same thread on Steamcommunity someone else posted this:-
Considering the first post and this one have no links or sources I'd take it with a big pinch of salt. So yeah not convinced sadly. I'll wait until there's an official announcement or activity in the database before getting your hopes up.

Dark Void isn't GFWL on Steam.
Yes, but some people must have bought the GFWL edition ("some people" as in...me...), so it counts. Of course since a native Steam edition exists it's going to be easy as pie to convert the GFWL copies to Steam ones
