Games for Windows sucks, Steam is far superior.
Also Microsoft points were a silly idea from the start. I agree having to use credit cards is limiting so MS should implement PayPal as an alternative, be progressive.

Not cool yo! I planned in getting sooooo many games now I may no longer be able to buy them!? That's a big **** you from MS in my book n they just lost a loyal member 2006-2013 though its hard to swallow if this is the truth

Ya know the COD: BO2 DLC is coming out on the 27th of this month they can't shut down microsoft points then otherwise this will cause a lot of problem for Xbox itself. So you've probably got a couple more weeks. Decide quickly my friend.
