FoV + GFL PC

Will Fallout Vegas have the same Games for Live software that Deadrising 2 had?

By this I mean the key to live lock system, living in a home with three other brothers we tend to have to share everything as money is always tight, when it came down to Deadrising 2 the PC key on our steam account locked it to the first person that loged into the game that being my brother.

This ended up forcing us to buy a copy for the xbox so that the rest of us could work on our own achievements and the storyline in our own time.

This is a feature that Games for Live has said it will want to include in all of the new games to help prevent copys of the game being used or resold. While I agree with it's use to stop those who want to make money off copys or reselling there copys so that the companys can not make anything off the product after the fact. It has the same effect as all anti-pirate stuff by shooting you in the leg when it comes down to practical use of a product in a home with more then one person living in it.

If anyone knows please leave a reply.

TLTR: Games for Live locking cd keys to one live account, is FoV going to have the same live update or is it being built off the older software.

Fallout Vegas? FoV (Field of View)? GFWL? OMG!!!

No, no, and no.

The game is Fallout: New Vegas, and it will not use Games for Windows Live. It will use Steamworks :D

Fallout New Vegas uses Steam as its DRM so you get one key per account. It doesn't use Games For Windows Live like Dead Rising 2 and Fallout 3. Once the copy of New Vegas is activated through Steam its forever linked to the one account. So you will either have to share the account or buy more than one copy.

Its Fallout New Vegas, and Games for Windows Live, and no it will not. It is a steamworks game and uses steam as its DRM. No GFWL is involved whatsoever. So it will be locked to one account, but you can install it on as many computers as you want.

Sweet, been having problems with GFWL. Every time I try to install the latest hotfix I get "KB938759 setup error failed to migrate dependent packages", and the game won't run. One solution I havent tried yet is "xliveless" I'll give it a shot later today so I can play a game not made by Bethesda Softworks.
Seriously, can someone please tell me why I need GFWL in the first place? Been playing games for a looooong time without it just fine.
