“First up I want to say sorry for just how long it has taken to move Dirt 3 to Steamworks,” wrote Codemasters community manager Lee Williams on Steam “I’m pleased to announce that Dirt 3 is now available with 100% less Games for Windows Live.”As a gesture of appreciation for Dirt 3 fans’ patience Codemasters will be upgrading everybody who owns Dirt 3 on PC to the Dirt 3 Complete Edition, which includes all the DLC, for no extra cost.If you currently have the GFWL version of Dirt 3 in your Steam Library Codemasters explained you should now also have access to the Dirt 3 Complete Edition automatically. If you own a boxed PC copy of the game, or have a Games For Window Live CD Key, you can activate that CD key on Steam using the steps detailed here The one speedbump here is that, due to certain differences between the two versions, your save files will not be compatible with each other.“We know it sucks and we are sorry but it was unavoidable,” wrote Williams.Williams thanked fans for keeping up the pressure on the publisher to move the game over to Steamworks.“Every day I have over a hundred notifications on my Steam account, there are threads thousands of comments deep about it and countless Tweets and Facebook messages – while you’d think it would be the kind of thing that would bug the hell out of me, you’d be wrong,” he wrote, before teasing the future of the series.“It just goes to show that you guys love Dirt and care about it a lot; I’m hoping you’ll bring that passion with you for where we’re going next.”
