Too bad we're still forced to use the horrible client.

What, "trolling"?

I would be surprised if anyone used the market. However if that means they're shutting down GFWL that will be interesting to see how that works. A program I never actually had a problem with.

You gotta have internet access and a service that lets you utilize it if you wanna troll and not get your face smashed.

One can only hope MS will at least soften their stance for older games and release them here.

In some ways this is bad news, as it could represent the first step in the oft feared DRM situation where they do end up switching off, or incompatibly upgrading their DRM servers such that existing titles can no longer validate with it. Costing users by locking out a load of peoples games (such as Arkham Asylum).
