Codemasters’ racing title will switch to Steamworks
As we bid farewell to the Games For Windows Live service, like we would an unwelcome and bossy relative that you feel compelled to put up with, Codemasters has taken the step of removing the GFWL client from its racing titleDiRT 3. Just likeBioShock 2and the first twoBatman: Arkhamgamesin the past few week,DiRT 3will now support Steamworks instead of Microsoft’s much maligned service
Whilst I’ll be the first to admit that I had minimal problems with GFWL, it left me wondering what other PC games still require it. Capcom has already announced that it is looking to remove the GFWL client from its games but there’s still a few older titles that have it bundled in.
Fallout 3is one I’d love to have an excuse to play again.GTA IVandDark Soulsare the other two games still saddled with GFWL but both have online components that might make removing GFWL a bit harder.
