Skyrim's disk version uses GFWL , and Red Faction on Steam uses GFWL , honestly I don't really mind where the game ends, if its a good game, then its a good game.

No, it doesn't. I have had skyrim since release. No gfwl. On topic: gfwl, while annoying, isn't a dealbreaker

The "Game for Windows" banner is seperate from "Games for Windows LIVE" (GFWL). The important part is the LIVE bit.

The "Games for Windows" basically mean "This is a game that runs on Windows!" and is fairly pointless tbh. GFWL is a seperate system that was designed to be the PC equivalent to X-box Live. It has the advantage of sharing your account with X-box Live (if you have one) and acheivements but unfortunately is relatively poor (especially earlier incarnations) when compared to Steam. In general it's just not well supported especially compared to the X-box equivalent.

Skyrim actually uses Steam (you can't play it without) and has the great advantage of using Steam workshop to host user mods and automatically install them. All DLC will be available via Steam too.
