Microsoft has formally denied it will deactivate its Games for Windows Live service for PC at the beginning of July, as had been rumored since August of last year and anticipated as developers - including a studio owned by Microsoft - stopped using it.
In a statement to Game Informer, Microsoft said "We are continuing to support the Games for Widows Live service," and "We remain committed to investing in PC gaming in the years ahead, and look forward to sharing more in the future."
Back in March, Phil Spencer the head of Microsoft's Xbox division, said Microsoft was working toward "a renewed focus on Windows and PC gaming." However, he indicated that the company wasn't looking "to go compete with what Valve has done."
He said then that "you will get a clear answer from us very soon," indicating there would be more to come in the summer. "It's just whether what we have to day is the core of what we have [in the future] and it's probably not."
