Dark Souls GFWL Petition

Following today's announcement of the Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition for Windows, which was supported by a petition, a new petition is now online to protest the plan to use Games for Windows LIVE (thanks Reddit). Here's word:

GFWL is unpopular, difficult to use, inconvenient, has terrible online support (a key feature in Dark Souls), and is downright unpleasant. After anxiously awaiting a PC release for this fantastic game it feels like a real slap in the face hearing Dark Souls will use Games for Windows Live. We recommend Valve's Steamworks in place, as this DRM is much easier to use, less intrusive, more reliable, and more accepted among PC gamers. Please reconsider the use of GFWL, or offer the game on both services. Thank you for taking the effort to port this game, but for a lot of customers it's Steam or no sale.

I tried to vote on the poll but GFWL crashed and deleted my browser.

I have a bunch of GFWL games and they all work flawlessly.

While I'd love to see this happen, I don't think it will. I believe they're using GFWL for their matchmaking, so removing it won't be a simple task.

Yeah. GFWL is utter shit, but it's probably too late.

If you don't like where gaming is heading, stop giving your money to the people who are taking it in that direction.
