Why do games still use Games for Windows Live? Like, does Microsoft give them money to require it? Or is it the opposite? Do developers pay Microsoft for the opportunity to use GfWL?

Furthermore, who thought it would be brilliant to require both Steam /and/ GfWL? I'm looking directly at you, Relic and THQ. I'm sure they aren't the only ones,

It says something about MMOs that when I click on 'register new account' on the installer (Star Wars The Outer Reaches) it takes me to a place where I can login with the security code, name, password, and there's a little tiny button that says 'register new account ( Read more... )

Livejournal, it would be fantastic if, when I click 'log in', I'm actually logged in.

Instead of, say, sending me to the exact same page, don't log me in, and display an ad, forcing me to wait until I can get through the ad and then log in a second time.
