Microsoft earlier this week announced that Games for Windows Live will now be free for all gamers. The company later revealed that it will refund subscription fees to Gold-level Live subscribers.

Speaking to Ars Technica, Games for Windows senior global director Kevin Unangst stated that they “will be offering refunds for those with Windows-specific Gold subscriptions.” He notes that customer service has already begun their work on the matter.

Many Games for Windows-branded PC games including Halo 2 and Shadowrun, both Microsoft-published, required a subscription to make use of multiplayer gameplay. The pricing structure was similar to Xbox Live, with annual subscriptions going for $49.99 a year.
