Calamity Trigger on PC: Need to know about online system before buying

[Spootmeister]

Apologies if this is in the wrong forum.

I'm from the U.S. and am considering getting the PC version of CT. I've read that GFWL is used to facilitate cross-platform play with Xbox 360 players, but I'm wondering how PC-to-PC play is done. Does it also use GFWL, or is there something that needs to be modified to get it work? Also, does it rely on a third-party host or other online system (other than GFWL, maybe provided by the developer or publisher?), or can my friend and I play with GFWL being the only non-game interference factor?

It should be the same for PC vs. PC as well.

just as a separate note, i should also mention that ASW stopped services for BBCT on PC back in september. if the internet services are still up in america, then i wouldn't expect them to be up for very long.

if you're planning to buy CT on PC for the netplay matches, then you might wanna reconsider.
