Drunk Ryu Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Only Microsoft game I have on steam is Section 8. Does this mean that people that already have the game will not be able to play online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that anyone actually used the marketplace except for DLC, and those DLC will still be available through the game itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
