GFWL-What do you even do?

Isn't GFWL a cloud service aswell for save game files? I installed Just Cause 2 onto a new PC and got all my progression back; Yet when I installed LP2 there's no data? What the hell is this bull♥♥♥♥tery? I, like many others here, had to go through the massive fiasco of release MONTHS where we were forced to play on the original version of the game because CAPCOM's bright idea to thwart piracy was to require ALL customers to insert their DVD disk to update. I even filed a complaint through the Better Business Bureau against CAPCOM for their almost criminal act in the matter. I spent 60 hours collecting all I had collected, feeding off what little activity there was with us cut off from the rest of the world. I haven't even PLAYED the co-op with another person, ever. And this is the ♥♥♥♥ I get in return?

What in Gods name are you trying to say exactly? G4WL does not have cloud saves. You are always free to back up your save yourself, it should work fine upon reinstall if you put it into the correct directory iirc.

G4WL is basically an extension of 360 XBL. They wanted to cash into the PC market and thought more people would be "omg achievements and Gamertag support!". I don't mind g4wl personally, only problem I had was with Gears for PC and that was more of an issue with Epic.

As for the second half I don't understand at all. Although I own the games for 360 not PC. I guess it's just a rant though.
