Full PC games on 'road map' of GFW Marketplace

road map

Full game digital distribution is in the cards for Games For Windows Live, we just don't know when that hand will be dealt. "Clearly it's on our road map," GM Chris Early confirmed to Shacknews. An update to the service today added video, demo and DLC support to Microsoft's PC Marketplace.

Should services like Steam be concerned? Not yet, at least. But with Microsoft already locking up exclusive content for GFW Live (see Fallout 3 PC DLC), there's precedence to suggest the company could scoop into its considerable war chest and strike up some exclusivity deals when it gets around to offering full releases. Of course, Microsoft is known for taking its sweet time getting to the ultimate destination. Road maps can be complicated, you know?
