You all seem to like flaming M$ for what they did with Windows Live... so I'm gonna do the same thing :P.

You just can't make someone pay 2 minimal salaries for a game (I'm in Bulgaria) and then ask them to pay extra 1 minimal salary per year just to get online play. This is simply ridiculous. :evil: Online gaming is meant to be free of charge (except MMORPGs).

I'm going to stick with Steam, as I always have. And with these new additions, I'd be running around the block screaming like a madman from happyness :P. And it's free!

Halo 2 was my most important game on the calendar for this year, but when I saw what it is (with LIVE and such paid crap), it convinced me to stay with Steam (and Battlefield 2 of course).
