IIRC Greece banned all forms of online gambling with the future possibility of banning all online use in public places. I'm sure that doesn't have any bearing on XBL or GFWL, but the content of the game shouldn't matter. It's XBL and GFWL that's the real point. Some countries don't have the service because they don't have enough of an infrastructure to support it. Some just didn't want to enter into a contract with Microsoft for whatever reason. I sincerley doubt that Microsoft would just up and say "Ok, so greece, Kerplakistan, and the United Kingdom of Wherever can't have XBL or GFWL cuz we said so."
So whatever the reason may be it's most likely due to your political leadership's decision making, or the countries main Internet Service Provider.
I just hate it when people go and automatically start hating on Microsoft without justification. I like Microsoft products. I'm using several right now, and I've been mostly satisfied with their products. I say mostly because I've had problems with the old Windows 95/98 platforms. But right now the quality of their products are excellent.
