Forgive my ignorance -- will boxed copies of the game be using Steamworks for content updates, achievements, etc? I'm just wondering because of the GFWL logo on the boxes.

Yes,you will have to activate your boxed copy on Steam,and it doesn't use Games for Windows LIVE (thank God),Harvey confirmed it several times.

Thanks for the info -- I just saw the box and was worried!

Not sure about the steamworks thing. but the game is NOT the GFWL, it's only games for windows.

The GFWL logo isn't there, but the GFW logo is. Similiar, yet very different.

But yeah, they will use Steamworks and not GFWL.

There is already a thread about this.

Retail(boxed) version will activate on Steam yes and no the game does not use GFWL.
