From being a mere platform for games that feature Microsoft's Games for Windows branding, the giant from Redmond has decided to relaunch Games For Windows Marketplace. But this time, the marketplace will feature more titles, even the ones that do not feature the branding, which should make it relevant.
The product manager for Windows Marketplace confirmed the same in a statement to Engadget, "The store is really going to be a destination for games for PC gamers. Sure, we're going to have Live-enabled titles, and we love those, but that's not all you'll find here."
The marketplace will be seamlessly integrated with the existing Xbox LIVE and Windows Live services, and will feature a library of over 1,000 games to begin with. The store will allow game access from the Internet, discounted games and allow you to find games title, genre or publisher. Pretty much like Steam; that is if Microsoft gets it right this time.
