It's now finally on Steam, and apparently no longer uses GFWL: http://store.steampowered.com/app/244610/
In case you haven't heard of it, it's DLC for Bioshock 2, made by a separate dev team, and received particularly high praise for its story and atmosphere. EDIT: if you own Bioshock 2 on steam already, I believe Minerva's Den will be added to your game for free.
Does anyone know how the 3D fares?

Yeah, it got given free to Bioshock 2 owners. It confused me too (My first reaction was "I must have bought this on the GFWL marketplace - Shame on me!" ;) )

D'oh! I wanted to play this badly enough that I figured out what sort of madness was necessary to pay for it through GFWL. $5 I think. How is it even possible that GFWL was such an abysmal piece of crap?

The DLC works fine with the Helix fox for the game. I really liked the story it told and reaffirmed that I enjoyed visiting Rapture more than Columbia.

Yeah, the mind truly boggles at how atrocious GFWL was.
I'm not usually a massive complainer about software. I've had issues with Steam but overall I like it. Origin and uplay are flawed, but I don't particularly mind them. I never even cared about Ubisoft's controversial DRM. I never jumped onto the bandwagon of hating EA or Activision.
But GFWL....oh, man. For me, that will go down in history as possibly the worst software of all time. It's like Satan himself collected the world's most incompetent UI designers, obnoxious marketers and sloppiest programmers, got them drunk, and then tasked them to build the most unusable monstrosity they could think of: one that would break games, corrupt saves, take one of the most mod-friendly games in history (Fallout 3) and prevent mods from working on it, force singleplayer gamers to wait 2 hours for a multiplayer update, or conjure up the most obscenely labyrinthine series of red herrings and redirect loops for the player to trudge through before he could make a game work. (all of the above happened to me - I'm sure others had even more problems)
