So if GFWL is going away, what happens to games that require GFWL that don't have it removed? Still mostly playable? Loss of online functionality?

I just finished my gaming PC recently and am working through all the stuff I've picked up over the years during sales and I know there's a bunch of GFWL titles on my list that haven't been patched to remove GFWL (Dark Souls, some older Capcom games, etc.)...

It must be nice to be so optimistic =p
I'm leaning more towards "won't even be able to boot the game" in most cases (which, to be fair, is pretty much what GFWL already meant for lots of people)

Out There Somewhere and Qasir al-Wasat are both great games. Upvote them on Greenlight.

Out There Somewhere got my vote simply by having that Master System cover art. The fact it looks like a fun title matters too, I guess.

Probably is the All Access Pass.

Yeah.
I guess I'm just salty because when I tried to run it recently (because they added cards, I admit), the matchmaking servers were dead. Not that I could have gotten drops, since they implemented it in such a way currently so that the people with the all access pass don't actually get any =p

Reminds me of Don't Starve in a way.

Man I just played the first hour of Hard-boiled Chickens, and it is so friggin good! Gameplay could use a bit of variety so far, though I think I will unlock more abilities.

The whole feel of the game is so nice, and awesome soundtrack, and really cool art and cutscenes. Really impressed.

Looking forward to JaseC and xelios reviewing their entire Steam library.

I dunno, I quite like my current ratio. :p

JaseC might know something about that.

Well, you already know my thoughts on Cold Fear, so I'll leave that out there.

As a horror, fan will also mention Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth.

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth has my recommendations. The best version of the game in my opinion, and if you have never played this but a fan of the horror genre I give it my whole recommendation. It's not perfect, there's some odd trial and error sections, and not everyone will enjoy it (the game has a slow beginning, like a Lovecraft story), but it has a wholly gripping narrative I think that progresses to get more and more interesting, gameplay scenarios that are varied and range from intense to creepy. A few good scares, both startle and psychological, and in my honest opinion, the best game based off of Lovecraft to have been made to date. If you like Lovecraft mythology, I honestly suggest you should pick this one up.

Also thought about mentioning Bully: Scholarship Edition and Max Payne 1 & 2.

Thanks for SpaceChem Jase, though it appears to be an invalid product code. :( Could it be because I already own the base game? (Thought it was just DLC for some reason)

There are two separate keys, one for the base game and one for the DLC.

The Kentucky Route Zero devs most feel very honored.

As they should! Not because my opinion matters so, but rather that the game is that great.

Ohhhh that explains the space, I thought it was just one giant code. Thanks, just never seen one like this before.

Do you plan on doing anything with the key for the base game? If not, I'll nuke it and give it away again.
