GFW is doing nothing for standards, and Live for Windows seems like its goal is to embrace and extend matchmaking, and extinguish free anonymous multiplayer. And for what? Petty achievements? Stupid avatars on gamer cards? Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I like the idea of connecting to the server of my choosing, not having to worry if the Live for Windows servers are down tonight.
Sins of a Solar Empire
Space Siege
Empire: Total War
and maybe Alone in the Dark
Unfortunately it's a list that's a bit too heavy on the cross-platform titles...here's to hoping that they'll devote resources towards making them feel PC-centric for PC fans.
