Switch to Forum Live View Online to go off after GFWL dies?

Microsoft announced last year that Games for Windows would shut down its marketplace features on August 22, 2013, signaling the beginning of the end for the service. Never quite achieving its desired critical mass, GFWL handled DRM, achievements, and multiplayer for a long list of games.

A since-deleted support article for Age of Empires Online stated that the GFWL service would be discontinued on July 1, 2014. Although Microsoft has not yet made an official announcement on the matter, a number of developers took this to mean that their games would effectively become unplayable in July and began work to divorce them from GFWLs, often switching over to Steamworks.

However, a large number of developers remained quiet about plans, so Joystiq reached out to get the official word on what the future may hold for their games past July.

Lost Planet 2 (No plans.)
Lost Planet: Extreme Condition Colonies Edition (No plans.)

I guess this means the end of LP multiplayer?

 This is question is killing me every day since they announced shuting down GFWL. Capcom doesn`t say a word to explain anything :

There is a chance that GFWL will be in some way included in Windows8 or 9. You can easy acces XLive now on PCs with this OS. So maybe there will be some patch or update from Microsoft allowing us to play these games ? Lost Planet Extreme Condition was free bonus for LP3, when Lost Planet Colonies is still beeing sold in pretty high price on Steam (15 $). It was on Christams Sale for few days for 5$, but price quick came back to 15$. Strange marketing as for the game that is to die (LPC) in 5 months, isn`t it ? I wish somebody from Capcom stuff finally say saomething about it...
