I thought I heard that Games for Windows Live was shut down. Is this still a valid solution?

Do you have any idea if it’s the same process for Windows 8?

I remember playing Vista before MCC launched and I used my XB1 controller so if any of you set it up, make sure you plug in your XB1 controller to use it!

Does this only work if you previously played games over Windows LIVE? Login fails every time even though I can sign on here with no problem.

EDIT: Figured it out, thanks for the guide!

A little late but doesn’t work at all for me. Can’t get past the first mission because the game prompts me to enter a CD key which I had already entered and it accepted. Soo annoying

So I cant find the marketplace tab to download it? Help?
