Batman Arkham Asylum, Batman Arkham City, GFWL removed from steam version, 75 % off this weekend

[Flamewalker]

 

GFWL copy protection and features (including achievements) have been removed from both Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City. The upgraded Steam versions now include Steam Achievements, cloud support, Big Picture support, full controller support and Steam Trading Cards.

 
People who already have it on steam get a patch that removes gfwl, although you will loose your saves since they aren't compatible. 
Another reason to play Arkham Asylum again i guess

plus, you get the year edition if you purchase either of them

Not buying it since I still hate WB for what they did to MERP. Best mod ever and they killed it

Looks like another game I can buy when price drops kick in on steam.

to an extent but there existed a major bug effecting effecting the size of th land mass  inside the games engine.

it was also their choice to move from oblivion to skyrm  they could have just kept with oblivion (or hell stayed with morrowind) but they decided that porting the resources to skyrim was then best choice, something that has always boggled my mind.

When it comes to removing GFWL from a game and losing your saves, I gladly will lose my saves.

I was glad when I saw this, as I bought the big bundle on GMG with the 25% off voucher about a week and a half ago. Except they did the change when I was in the middle of AA, so I wasn't too happy to replay the first 2/3rds of the game to finish it

 

Now, I'm just waiting for Dark Souls, RE5, and the Dead Rising games to remove GFWL and my library will be safe from the death date. I really hope gamers won't have to petition for these companies to release patches to solve these issues :-\

Sweet, I can finally play them now. Still haven't installed since buying them several Steam sales ago.
