Instead of throwing it away, throw it up on eBay. Some people collect the discs/cases, despite them basically being paper weights.
Man, I completely forgot about this game. I had a lot of fun with it 15 years ago. The price is right, and it's now in my library to probably never be played again.
this game is currently free on Steam till Nov 30th 9am.

Does it actually work now? It has been broken for a long time, if I recall it was a Games For Windows Live issue.

First thing I checked was if it worked on the Steam Deck, it does as of 4 months ago so I would assume it would also work on Windows.

BTW, hasn't Games For Windows Live been dead for a decade? The reason I know is I'm still a little sore about it because their closure (basically name change) took many of my 'owned' games to the grave with their service.

Yeah, Games For Windows Live has been gone for at least 10 years. There are some workarounds available for some physical releases.
Anything on Steam "should" have been patched to remove GFWL DRM, but that would rely on the developers/publishers.

The Lost Planet series was only recently patched on Steam by Capcom but this is literally after years. I was hoping there was some kind of movement for those old Xbox 360 generation PC ports

I'm sure there are some old games plagued by GFWL still on Steam but this game should be safe if people on Protondb report it works on Linux and Steam Deck (via Steam). Worst case you are out $0.00 if it doesn't work Wink

Sadly I still have a few physical GFWL games laying around. Just threw Crysis away this week because I finally bought the remastered set via a Humble bundle. Also have Section 8 which I have never played. Bought it brand new 15+ years ago but it was incompatible with my GPU at the time, never bothered trying to install it since....one day I will though....one day...assuming it will activate. Or I'll just download it on myabandonware if it doesn't.

Not a great game, not a bad one. Good for a play though. I completed it ages ago on the Xbox 360. Some levels are ridiculously difficult.

Thanks for the recommendation but I already checked eBay before recycling the packaging. Most were being listed (not necessarily being sold) for $5 or less with free shipping.. The $2 after fees and shipping wasn't really worth my time. I find most PC games don't have the greatest collector's value compared to console games of the same epoch. Good thought though and I appreciate it!

Given that the game description has had this text box inserted:

ᴀɴᴏᴛʜᴇʀ ʀᴇᴡᴀʀᴅ, ᴄᴏᴜʀᴛᴇꜱʏ ᴏꜰ ᴛʜᴏꜱᴇ ᴄʟᴇᴠᴇʀ ᴛᴇɴɴᴏ ꜱᴛɪʟʟ ʜᴀʀᴅ ᴀᴛ ᴡᴏʀᴋ. †hê §ïgñål ï§ §þrêåÐïñg

...am virtually certain this is a promo in the lead-up to when the same studio, DE, will release their Warframe 1999 content drop soon. Could be interesting to see whether/how there's a crossover between those game universes.

Think I have this for the 360. Kept it at my parent's place with a spare machine as something to play if I was ever bored while visiting the folks. Don't think I ever did. Probably still in the shrink wrap like my copy of the OG Little Big Planet for PS3. Guess now I have an alternate option to play.
