Microsoft Making New PC Games DL Marketplace

A Steam competitor?
                                                
For PC gamers, the most popular way to buy games digitally is through Steam. And where there's action, Microsoft wants to be there.
Microsoft today announced the overhaul of Games for Windows Marketplace, which will have Games on Demand online distribution. Launching Nov. 15, the Games for Windows Marketplace will sell PC games,and like the Xbox Live Marketplace, will have recurring specials such as Deal of the Week.
"With Games for Windows Marketplace, we set out to create a digital store built for PC gamers end-to-end," said Kevin Unangst, senior global director, PC and Mobile Gaming, at Microsoft. "And by integrating with our existing Xbox Live and Windows Live services, we've made it easier than ever for millions of gamers to see for themselves how easy buying PC games can be."
Logging into Games for Windows Marketplace requires any form of Windows Live ID, such as Windows Live, Xbox Live, Games for Windows – LIVE or Zune account. The new store also supports Microsoft Points, as well as credit card purchasing.

  3. I prefer actually having the game, in my comp crashes or something else happens. I might use this for cheap games. Like if they have something up there for $5 or something.

  8. Not cool, I've seen some of the Microsoft Live and it's very annoying unlike the valve marketing design.

  9. Steam is where it's at. Try CS 1.6 for a classic choice
