Previously, getting the Game of the Year Edition to run through Steam was an astonishing amount of hassle, as, since Games for Windows Live was discontinued, players had to either tediously force the program into running or mod out the dependencies yourself. This means that Fallout 3 is now easier to play on modern gaming PCs, though the patch is a double-edged sword for existing fans of the game. “The title no longer requires Games for Windows Live and will now launch,” Bethesda continued as they finally freed us from the shackles of Microsoft’s first ill-fated Xbox Live-esque PC venture. On Steam, Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition has just been patched to remove Games for Windows Live, which means that the game is no longer has any dependencies on the long-dead Microsoft service. In the recent surprise patch notes for Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition, Bethesda revealed that the game “has been updated and no longer installs Games for Windows Live dependencies.” It may have taken over a decade to finally happen, but Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition no longer needs Games for Windows Live on PC.ĭespite being discontinued all the way back in 2014, Games for Windows Live has stuck around, clinging to Fallout 3 GOTY Edition like a malignant tumour, not really hurting anybody, but not really going anywhere either.
