Well it's free to sign up so I don't really have a problem with that.

GTA IV and "Games For Windows exclusive", aren't they a bit late...

Why should we be forced to sign up? What benefit does the gamer get from this, or is it purely a financial benefit for Take-Two and another annoyance for the end user?
Got to agree there. Why do people need to sign up to windows live!? Its just an annoyance and something to force a bigger user base onto windows live. No doubt MS paid a nice sum for this.
I've had it on PS3 since launch and can't remember the last time I played it in all honesty. Its the only game I've bought on release for £40 on the PS3 and I won't be doing it again!
I think GTA is very bad online.
Presumably it's like Gears of War - ie they can then offer you the multiplayer matching, chat so on and so forth.
If it's required for offline play as well then that's a bit steep, but isn't really any different from steam games requiring activation over steam.
The PC version?
no the ps3 version
Games for windows is just the PC version of Xbox live.. same features achievements, friends lists, matchmaking etc. it can be your xbox live account too.
I really don't see the point in GFW - online PC gaming has been going for years and I'm not sure I'm keen oin the amount of control m$ seem to be grabbing.
Re: News - Microsoft makes GTA IV a Games For Windows exclusive
I already have a number of games using Steam and don't want to have to sign up to another game verification/monitoring service.
Imo this is only further alienating the PC customer base compounded by the late release to PC.
I played and enjoyed the previous titles but think I will pass on this one for these very reasons.
