Bioshock 2 - GFWL patched

[czc]

So I didn't see this on the news here. Just checked the downloaded updates on steam that I had in steam. I checked the update page and it seems that they patched GFWL out of Bioshock 2.

In August, the Games For Windows LIVE service marketplace closed and some of you wondered what would happen to BioShock 2 on PC. We remain committed to supporting BioShock 2 on PC and are excited to announce that starting today the game is available via Steam. Not only that, but the Steam version of BioShock 2 includes all available multiplayer downloadable content, as well as the single player “Protector Trials” DLC!

With the help of our friends at Digital Extremes, BioShock 2 on Steam fully supports popular features of the platform, including controller compatibility, Steam achievements, and Big Picture mode. Matchmaking is easier than ever now, allowing you to search for “any game,” as opposed to having to select your game mode. Leveling up is also quicker and easier, as we’ve fine-tuned the multiplayer experience to be better than ever.

If you have already purchased BioShock 2 through a different digital partner, we’ve got you covered. Simply take the same game activation key you already own and “activate” it within Steam. Doing this will grant you access to BioShock 2, all of its multiplayer and Protector Trials DLC, as well as Minerva’s Den – the single player story-driven add-on that includes new weapons, enemies, and plasmids!

EDIT: You'll have to start from the beginning probably. Since mine registers no saves.

Great! I hope this happens with most* of the other GFWL games as well.

* I know it very unlikely to happen with all of them.

Well I see those adverts I guess you have to call them, when you exit a game that pop up, one panel was advertising the two Batman games and it said now with steamworks. I see I suddenly have the GOTY editions of both of those in my list suddenly.

Ooh, I have the same! Hope it's not a mistake or something.

Well with Bioshock 2 they actually gave people one of the DLC's for free if you had they GFWL version and apparently they have also added controller support.

Yes the Minerva DLC I believe. Also you can now buy the DLC on steam instead of struggling on GFWL.

Big picture support and all that jazz.

I hope all the rest of the GFWL holdouts follow suit. Would be a shame to lose the interesting multiplayer in Dark Souls.
