GFWL is to be discontinued

I'm worrying about the exact same thing. I actually spent a bit of money on Age of Empires Online, so I wonder if they're simply going to shut down the game entirely or find some other way to ensure players don't lose their DLC because of this. As much as I hate GFWL, it's tied to some brilliant games that rely on it.

Hopefully Microsoft clarifies the whole thing soon.

They are discontinuing it, not taking away peoples games. I am 90% sure they are just switching over to XBL for windows.

Yes, I realise they're not taking away anyone's games, but a lot of games use GFWL for multiplayer and/or DLC and until they clarify what's going to happen to those games, I will remain worried.
