What is the benefit of games that use Games for Windows — LIVE?

We created Games for Windows — LIVE with the same philosophy that inspired the creation of Xbox LIVE for the console — to create a service that improves the gaming experience by connecting users to their friends, letting them compete or play cooperatively, earn achievements, download new add-on content, and have easy ways to find and play games, with voice chat built right in. And because it’s the same service as Xbox LIVE, you have only one log-in account (your Windows Live ID) that you need to worry about – it’s the same login/password on Games for Windows — LIVE, Xbox LIVE, and even Zune. That unified ID means that users have only one friends list, one set of Microsoft Points, and one collection of achievements across all the platforms, from PC to console to Windows Phone 7 – it’s the same service, spanning multiple platforms.
