Games For Windows & Xbox.com Marketplace are Merging

July 3, 2011 by Josh Wanamaker

Microsoft hits us with a surprise announcement this morning, stating that the GFW and Xbox.com marketplaces will be merging into one, horrible thing.

There's no set date for this to happen, yet, but soon you'll be able to purchase everything you want for under the Xbox or GFW marketplaces in one place, which I guess streamlines the process a bit. Really though, do *you* know anyone that actually uses either of these services? I don't. Everyone that I know that games on the PC buys their stuff through Steam or Direct2Drive, and they all curse Microsoft for their flippant Games For Windows Live nonsense. We all do. All of us.
