As of today, no. I just checked.So... have they actually removed Securom and GFWL from the Batman games? I actually might buy them for dirt cheap if that's the case.
Yeah, Arkham City was one of those games...I just bought Arkham City, didn't know it was DRMception or some shit
Well at least it's cheap.
Unfortunately, that would probably be more like suicide bombers, and they would take a whole lot down with them.Microsft + EA... let's hope they bonded with a suicide pact.
Oh god, I had forgotten about GFWL until just now. I remember playing Dawn of War II, having to deal with GFWL's bullshit in addition to Steam's bullshit. It was a fucking nightmare.
As part of the upcoming Xbox 360 system update, Microsoft Points will be retired, and the Xbox.com PC marketplace will be closed as of August 22, 2013. We encourage you to spend your Microsoft Points balance prior to this change. Although you will not be able to purchase new games, you can continue to enjoy previously purchased content by downloading them through the Games for Windows LIVE client software as usual.

Microsoft hires the man who made Steam great, signals renewed interest in PC gaming
im in the same boat with regards to minerva's den. heres hoping we can transfer the dlc key over to steam.I only ever bought one thing on GFWL and it was Minerva's Den. I wonder if they will somehow transfer that purchase to Steam, which I would appreciate.
Actually I got some of the Fallout 3 DLC from them too, but that shit was DRM free and I backed it up, so whatever.
If they actually removed Securom and GFWL from the Batman games I actually might buy them for dirt cheap.

When I aquired it legally some time back, I had to make a GFWL acc to play. At that time they had streamlined the account creation to the point where you didn't even have to make a nickname, it automatically assigned you one I think mine was AvengingAxe227 or something. That shit is some of the most dysfunctional crap I've ever seen.
