@Drakkenfyre Is PC gaming full of crybabies or what? I've used GFWL for at least 5 games, and never had a problem with any of them. I'm not going to restrict myself and while because I dislike a piece of software that comes with the game.
People, consoles are not "banned" in China as Kotaku falsely claims. The restrictions only apply to commercial arcade machines, not home consoles. Consoles such as the PS2 are available in department stores of major Chinese cities. Even the arcade restrictions are rarely enforced by police.
@BrianH That's bit hypocritical, considering that Dragon Age and Mass Effect were already in development before EA bought out Bioware, Crysis is owned by Crytek not EA, and Battlefield and Red Alert are from 2002/1996 and are exploited no less than COD. Bash Activision all you want, but EA are no saints themselves. Even as recently as 2008 they attempted to buy out Take 2 (2K+Rockstar), and bought out Bioware+Pandemic, shutting down Pandemic when their games underperformed, while reducing Bioware to feed out DLC. Let's not mention the Project $10 nonsense, EA Sports Online Pass, a virtual monopoly in Madden Football, etc.
@Foetoid Did America owe up to their past support of dictatorships such as Pinochet's Chile, their forced removal of Native Americans from their lands, and their slavery and racial segregation against African Americans? America loves to bitch about how evil China is, but I don't see China telling Americans how to run their country. Lay off the Fox News and Glenn Beck.
@UNSCleric As a resident of China I wonder they teach your in American schools. China may not be a democracy, but at we made genuine improvements in our living standards, and today's Chinese government is far more open than their predecessors. I find your government an even bigger embarassment: starting wars across the worlds and butting in the affairs of other countries.
@Drakkenfyre Riiight. I'm sure they gimped it by adding online multiplayer, new weapons & vehicles, new maps, and better graphics. If anything, Halo PC exceeds the Xbox version.
@Anticrawl I don't need PC fanboys like you to tell me what games I can and cannot enjoy. Forget Activision - it's PC elitists like you that are ruining PC gaming.
