I've been saying that all along yet people don't get it.
Most PC gamers don't understand the implications of having to re-write entire parts of a video game for a simple port, especially when there are tools and a platform out there that eliminate the time and investment needed to re-write the core networking functions of the engine.
It's clear the game was never designed for the PC, so to be getting a PC port is excellent in it's own way. Yes GFWL sucks, but it's a lot better than waiting another year for them the re-write and test a PC version.
After Crysis 2 and BF3 launched, the PC community showed to me the majority have no idea how game programming works, or any computer programming for that matter. So I shouldn't be shocked when people can't wrap it around their heads why GFWL is a logical approach.

Does that even matter to the consumer? Unless this is released at a budget price, I fail to see how relevant it is to us how costly the development of a PC port is. There are people who have had NUMEROUS issues with GFWL and want to avoid the service altogether, which is perfectly fine. I don't think those people should be blamed for not supporting this title if it comes with such a drawback as GFWL.
And for a game like Dark Souls, keeping my save files from PC to PC might be more important than the other GFWL titles i own. With encrypted saves, I don't even know how that works.
How about I word it in terms that matter to a consumer.
If they don't use GFWL, the game would probably be on the PC in early 2013 at the earliest as they'll have to bascially rebuild the whole game from scratch. Doing so will cause further delays to any other game in the series. Even worse, the added costs of development will mean a $60 price point.
So ur argument is: "as long as it comes on PC i dont care if is a **** console port"...I have "grow" some kind of respect for you,not that much, but enough to not insult you or ridicule your comments...so that being said...Are you pleased with Resident Evil 4??As long as it on PC,You dont care that it is a horrid unplayable port?
Are you aware of one of the latest "GFWL" GCI matchmaking is the worst on the planet and drops you from games every freaking 2 or 3 matches???Are you aware of the fact that the same CGI that uses GFWL lets you in the lobby searching for games about half an hour at times???
I myself dont want a freaking crippled Dark Souls because they used GFWL...I want the full and normal/intended experience...If you cannot do that...dont do it...ill buy the game for the PS3...
Where is ur rational/logical argument behind ur comment?
