  1. Unable to retrieve purchase history for Age of Empires 3 on GFWL client


    This is not at all appropriate. We put down our money to support your company and this is the kind of support we get. Its been over two months and there is no way to resolve the problem. What I would suggest if at all possible is also making our purchases
    accessible from the Windows 10 store. No I do not mean making that the only solution cause not everybody is using Windows 10 but it would help to make sure our purchases can still be downloaded in the continuing future. I do hope this issue gets fixed as
    I and many other users have put hard earned cash into supporting you.

  3. This is ridiculous and clearly shows just how little interest Microsoft has in what they consider old and useless software! It also very clearly shows they have no interest in providing real, genuine customer support! So many PAYING customers who are currently
    locked out of accessing their PAID content and all Microsoft can do is give an update every few weeks stating they have nothing new to report! Months have gone past and there has, apparently, been ZERO progress! I'm starting to think the only way Microsoft
    will actually do anything about this is when they are faced with real legal action! It's time to hurt them where it really hurts, in the wallet! I will not be purchasing anything with Microsoft's name attached until this issue is fully resolved!

    Yep, this is a joke. The issue has been around for many months. MS merely needs to re-host the back end to the original client. I am certain it's an easy solution but as MS wants us to forget anything that ever existed prior to the bug riddled, glitch filled
    Windows 10 they will not put any effort into this. Like others have alluded to, I am sure there are legal implications here as MS is preventing usaccessimg our paid for content. Plus there is still software being sold on steam such as Grand theft auto IV that
    WILL not run without the Games for Windows live service being active. Total disgrace. Basically MS is trying to freeze out the market for old games. Half my media collection of games is unusable on Windows 10 because they took the draconian decision to prevent
    securom and safedisc running (that should be a user choice !!!!) and what few remaining older games I have and enjoy are hit by this service being removed. Makes me want to turn my back on all things MS and levitate towards apple for computing and the ps 4
    for games. No way to treat the customers, without whom MS would never of been the giant they are today.

    I was going to try new Gears of War UE on windows 10 store but seeing how you treat your customers and knowing that the game purchase I make on Microsoft store will go obsolete someday, I'll avoid any windows store games like the plague.

  6. I'm sure this is violating terms of agreement. Microsoft you have taken our money and now you are not facilitating the access to the content we purchased. It's all good for your company cause you already have our money, you had no problem taking that from
    us at all. I have been left without my content for more than 6 months now and I am now considering legal action on behalf of all the gamers that have lost access to their content. For too long now you have been ignoring complaints or giving vague replies
    with unspecified times as to when it will be fixed. We have waited patiently long enough, this time expect to hear us shout.

    Guys, let's also tweet this too. I am fed up with MS fob off answers. Clearly nothing being done. Legal action could be a good idea. This is totally unacceptable!

  9. Hey, guys! I’m truly sorry to hear about any inconveniences this may have caused. When legal talks start arising in our Support forums, we have to shut down the thread and refer you to our
    Legal and Corporate Affairs page. There have been several suggestions to start legal action in here, and we can no longer ignore them.

    Understand that we are actively working on this, and have been. Once this is resolved, you should see all of your purchases in the GFWL Client again.

    As this is a support forum, if you would like to pursue legal action then we will not be able to assist further. If you would like to continue troubleshooting, please feel encouraged to start a new thread and we will be happy to assist you there. Because
    I have been deeply involved in this situation, please send me a private message with the new thread you have created. You can also bump
    this thread or
    this thread as I am keeping an eye on those as well.

    I've had my account for many years and have spent tons of hard earned money on Xbox and GFWL and new stuff on windows 10. I've been buying stuff since microsoft was first a company. How is it that a company with so much money and technology can't figure
    out to let us play games from a few years ago? Makes no sense to me at all.

    So this is how they treat users of GFWL, and they expect anyone to take the new wndows store seriously? What a joke.
