Microsoft Refunding Games for Windows Live Fees

July 26th, 2008

promoLive 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.
