I refuse to believe this magazine existed, this is just cursed
ULTIMATE PC GAMING AUTHORITY
For a magazine from 2007-2008 it’s interesting how dated and 90s these covers feel. Like who the hell was still saying “frag” when Bioshock was coming out?
Orange Box? Left 4 Dead? These aren’t even GFWL titles, come on guys

Only sorta related but while GFWL was garbage, Little-Me did find it neat that I could wrack up gamerscore with the same account and achievement list on two different platforms.
GFWL managed to completely pass me by. For the years it was active I was gaming on my Xbox 360 and I never had a computer with Vista anyway. I did try pirating a copy of the Vista version of Halo 2 hacked to work on DirectX9 but I can’t remember if I even got it to run on my PC
