Infamous Games for Windows Live Leaves Fallout 3 GOTY for Good
Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition has received an update on PC that removes the game's connection to the now-dead Games for Windows Live.
Games for Windows Live was a digital distribution platform developed by Microsoft. Since 2013, the company has gradually phased out its , and the whole thing is now dead. However, there are still titles that are associated with it - until yesterday, Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition was one of them. That's when an update numbered 1.7.0.4 was released on PC, which cuts the game off from the now-defunct service.
Keep in mind that with this patch, the compiler was changed to Visual Studio 2019. As a result of this move mods for Fallout 3 will stop working.
