Could've posted it in the bit of news thread but since both SSF and SFxT uses the service.

“Games for Windows Live will be discontinued on July 1, 2014. Although it is available through Steam, Age of Empires Online requires features of the Games for Windows Live service. You can continue to enjoy all the features of Age of Empires Online as the service will remain 100% operational until July 1, 2014 when the server will shut down.”

Microsoft still hasn’t responded to requests for comment.
Assuming it’s sticking with those terms, however, that leaves titles previously tethered to GFWL’s hissing tendrils in a tight spot. Games like Bulletstorm, Dark Souls, Resident Evil 5 (which is abysmal without co-op), Street Fighter X Tekken, Iron Brigade, and Dirt 3 may well lose significant chunks of their functionality unless something changes between now and July.

Great good riddance it stinked anyway....but what would it mean for the SSF and SFxT MP because it uses the GFWL service.
