Steam or Games for Windows Live? - Interview with Randy Pitchford

We talked with Gearbox Randy Pitchford about wether Duke Nukem Forever will use Games for Windows Live or Steam. His answer was longer than we had anticipated. This man is concerned about the whole situation the pc market is in.

Hey do all games for windows live's achivments count towards your xbox gamertag?

[GolemDE]

@UsernameIsBad1 Yeah, they do. :)

I'd only go with GFW because I can get achievements and tie them with my Xbox account also. But Steam seems like a better service compared to GFW. If I ever turn into a PC gamer, I'll probably just buy the retail copy of games so I always have the disc when needed.

No need for 'openness' or compatibility between Steam and Games for Windows Live. Just get rid of GFWL and banish it to the depths of software hell where it belongs.

[DJBrowser99]

now games for windows don't have new cool games anymore like mw3, battlefield 3, etc. And why did they put it as pc games on xbox.com i liked it when it had its own web. PLZ GFW MAKE THINGS BETTER!! GET NEW GAMES!! PLZ DO THIS IF YOU WANNA BE BETTER THAN STEAM!!

[DrFLARES]

[LLOYD19851012]

@spookyman123 That is how I feel. I only love GFWL for the Achievements with a gamescore
