The console gaming experience has been greatly enriched by downloadable content; through Games for Windows - LIVE (GFWL) it is possible to also bring these benefits to your PC game. By using downloadable content after a game’s release, you can increase profit, extend your game’s life at retail, and encourage users to keep playing. Learn how GFWL provides an easy way to advertise, sell, manage, verify, and load downloadable content without the user ever leaving the game. During this discussion, we cover reasons and statistics for using, implementation of, and best practices around using the GFWL Marketplace (including enabling an in-game store with a single API call). Get more life out of your game after its release by making Games for Windows - LIVE and downloadable content work for you!
