As far as i can tell, Steam hates GFWL and GFWL hates Steam. I love Steam for Valve games, but i got suckered into thinking they could do more than that. This is all VERY confusing, but I think I have a serious problem and i hope someone can explain. I have Bioshock2 and GTAIV through Steam. These are GFWL and i can lauch them from Steam and up pops an "in-game" GFWL prompt. Bioshock2 would not play at all until i set up an "off-line" account, and now i discover it has serious key-mapping bugs--but it plays. Now for oddity, I have a local GFWL install and can login, but there is no content for Bioshock2 (just old DLC for Fallout3). Now, since Bioshock2 is borked, i want to play GTAIV. No mention in my GFWL contents, but it can launch from Steam. I still cant play it because of the Social Club bullshit, but anyway. I guess what im asking is how do i take Steam purchased games that are GFWL and "register" them with GFWL ONLY? There seems to be a serious problem with clashing or something between these two online options. I want to take games i paid for through Steam and extract them from Steam. Is this possible? Take home message? Im not buying anymore Steam content that is NOT Valve only.
