Games for Windows Live 3.0 Released
Microsoft has released a new stand-alone client for Games for Windows - Live, and is available for downloading here. Version 3.0 now provides custom in-game storefronts (think Rock Band), zero-day piracy protection for developers, and server side authentication, enabling gamers access to their games no matter what machine they use. The new client also provides "roaming saved games and settings."
"We will store your saved games and settings in the cloud so that, combined with the server-side authentication, means not only can you install and play anywhere, you can start a game at work and continue your saved game at home without having to worry about moving that saved game around," said Drew Johnson in this Q&A, the general product manager for the Live Engagement Team on Windows.
Currently Games for Windows - Live supports many PC titles including Street Fighter IV, Fallout 3, Fuel, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II, and more.

Are they telling hard working people to drop what they are doing and play video games at work?

I know right? You think MS sent a news letter to their own employees about this saying "Hey everyone! Remember to bring your games to work!!"
i think steam does have something similar for some games like left 4 dead... but if the save games work for all gfwl games, this is def a step in the right direction...go microsoft!
Steam does have Steam cloud, this is apparent in Left 4 Dead, but not really anywhere else AFAIK. They have yet to expand on it.
Turn off the fanboi and handle things like you can atleast pretend to be an adult.
All the protection will kill it(far to many pirated games out there). Too bad, i will give it a go
Then again, i just shoved all my save games onto skydrive anyway...
I always use M$ instead of Microsoft its a lot quicker... this makes me stupid as well?
PCs =\= consoles, and don't need stupid additional interfaces, services, or restrictions on them. a better announcement would have been "Windows does away with noobish GFWL service".
I think this way of using the internet is far from good,and the system got too many flaws in it!
For single player story level, you still have to go online for the verification.
So I guess this is about the same...
Oh,and, story level is only 30-60% of the game.
You'll probably need to go online and play via MS server (which charges a monthly fee), in order to get the upgrades you can't get in story mode!

GameGuard has nothing to do with MS and everything to do with Sega's choice. its was on the other Phantasy Star games as well. Many MMOs from countries on that side of the world use GG.

As you can see my friend drags me into many games.
Somewhat.
Some games, a feature like that would piss me off...
However, if it encourages more online play for most games, I'm somewhat in support.
GameGuard is an aweful anti hack system... last I checked it still doesn;t support Win7.
As for Fallout 3 if you do not have any expansions yet buy the first two (on one disk) from your local software store $20. Once installed you do not need any disk in the drive or any internet connection to play FO3 again, thanks Bethesda. The internet thing for FO3 is from Microbloats GFWL.
If you have downloaded from the GFWL site and M$ is making you now connect to the internet and use their F*cked up service to play FO3 just do a search of your HD for the hidden files you downloaded and payed for and copy the expansions to your FO3 Data Dir. Presto no need for GFWL to play a offline game.
Again I say GFWL can take that DRM control freak of a so called service and shove it up their collective arses.
