I wonder when/if we'll get Steam keys for the retail copies of Lost Planet 2: EC
So, Capcom is still out in the cold on this, yeah?
Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition still has GFWL and will likely always have it, because Ultra Street Fighter 4 comes out in August.F1 2010

I don't have the game installed (currently downloading it now)
I'd like to get the GFWL achievements for the game, can i still do that?
Instead of removing GFWL from SS4: AE they are forcing people to spend $15 to upgrade to Ultra SF4.
They haven't pushed a patch yet. You should still be able to download the game and cheat your way to more gamerscore.
What about disc-based copies of the game? They can't remove GFWL from those somehow, right? Should still be able to get achievements with that until GFWL shuts down for good?
This also reminded me how I still wish RE5 one day gets the Bioshock 2 treatment and get the console exclusive dlc along with the GFWL removal update.
You wouldn't be more upset if they charged $15 just to remove GFWL from AE?

Yep that won't be affected until the assumed July shutdown of GFWL. You are aware of the console commands right?

Nice, I was just playing this recently after hearing that GFWL will shut down, earning those achievements before they go away. Guess I better go back to this and earn the others I haven't gotten yet!

Is it still possible to unlock all of the achievements with console commands?
If this really happens, I will gladly play the whole game again to get the Steam achievements.
I've actually wanted a reason to play FO3 again, and this might be it
I think GFWL forces you to either download available updates for a game or be signed out of Live. But who knows with this situation, IDK if they would push a patch that removes GFWL through GFWL.
GFWL was always optional for Fallout 3. If you don't want it, you don't have to use it. Close it and play without it. I have still an unregistered key from my retail version.How in the hell? I've never had GFWL come up when playing Fallout 3. I always get the Steam prompts telling me I'm gonna need to use a key but never had to use it.
They never push a patch through GFWL.
I can swear I had a message before about needing to update to stay signed in to Live when starting Fallout 3. I bet it must have been an update for GFWL itself or something.
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_3_add-ons#Playing_without_Windows_LiveI purchased FO3 retail and all my DLC through the GFWL Store.
Wonder how that is going to pan out.
Hopefully Besthesda does the right thing and lets me put my retail key into Steam and unlock the GOTY edition.

If you don't want to even see GFWL when starting Fallout 3 there are mods to disable this as well. You have probably something like that installed when it doesn't come up for you.

You never needed GFWL to run FO3.

Just move your DLCs to your Fallout 3 folder.

Admittedly, Fallout 3 was the one GfWL game where it was practically useless. But yeah, good news is still good news. Hopefully I can get a Steam copy of my retail version (although I can also see Bethesda issuing a straight up patch for it, especially considering it's nothing that FOSE doesn't do already).
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Bethesda Technical Support
It is true , Fallout 3 did use GFWL to track achievements. It was Microsoft's decision to retire GFWL in 2014, and any impact on our game is beyond our control.
As far as we are aware, no announcement has been made about transferring a GFWL code for Fallout 3 for a digital Steam version.
Fallout 3 does not require a GFWL code to function. You will still be able to play Fallout 3 even after GFWL has been discontinued. The only missing element will be how achievements are tracked but at this time we have no information on how or if that will be implemented beyond 2014. Fallout 3 was released in 2008 so whether anything will be done regarding GFWL is still open to question. The important fact is the game can still be played no matter if no further developments occur.
We would expect if there were any future announcements on this matter they would be posted on the Bethesda Blog website, www.bethblog.com.
Thank you for your interest in Fallout 3 and we hope you enjoy the game for a while to come.
Regards,
Stewart G.

I sent an email to Bethesda last week, asking them if they could give me a Steam key for Fallout 3, now that GFWL is closing down and I still have my retail GOTY edition.
This is what they replied.
I've been holding off playing dark souls in anticipation of this happening because I worry that once gfwl is removed from dark souls I would lose my saves- that happened with arkham city if I remember right. Rather not put hours in only to have steam update, remove gfwl and take my data away.
That was quite a good reply she sent you.
Unfortunately they are well aware that the game could work just fine without the key. I hope that they are actually removing GFWL rather than just removing the key and dropping the entire thing.
There was actually a method to get your GFWL save to work in the Steamworks version.
Hope they give us Steam Workshop support when they update the game, that would be amazing.
Is it still possible to unlock all of the achievements with console commands?
The GFWL situation kind of confuses me...I bought AoE 3 and Viva Pinata from their webstore. Is my chance to redownload those games going to end soon? Or will they keep that part functioning so I can download and play em indefinitely?

I also bought them and I can't even download them anymore as the GFWL MArketplace client doesn't work anymore (can't connect), at least for me :/The GFWL situation kind of confuses me...I bought AoE 3 and Viva Pinata from their webstore.
