As August comes to a close and we enter what is traditionally the busiest time of the year for PC gaming, we are looking back on the past 31 days to pick out what we believe were the top 10 news stories of the month for PC gaming. It was a time of new game announcements (thanks in part to Gamescom) but a lot of the news came from Blizzard's own event BlizzCon.
News stories we picked for the top 10 included the sad news of layoffs and even complete shutdowns of game developers, the release of a new version of a PC gaming client and word that a two year old console game might be released for the PC in an "AO" rated version. We also threw in a couple of extra news stories that, while big, didn't quite make the top 10 list.

Wow, color me surprised to see the GFWL update taking position NUMERO UNO in this list.
It is an important update, and even though it was more for developers than fans, it does improve the GFWL experience greatly. In game DLC access was something a lot of GFWL users have asked for, and now we have it.
Thanks for pointing this out.
GFWL - Because the time has come to accept GFWL on the PC just like the other "services".
