while I agree GFWL is annoying, its only because its just another program that needs to be running while playing the game. I haven't had any issues in a long long time playing the games that require it. Its nice that all of them (at least the ones I have), are also on steam, so I only need to run steam to play any of my games and GFWL auto opens when I play one of these games.
I also don't understand how the drm is worse than steam and especially EA. The one thing I hate about steam is that you need to know ahead of time if you won't have internet if you want to play your games. If you happen to lose internet access unexpectatly (which happens often at my university), your screwed because you need to set steam to offline mode before you can play games offline. With my gfwl games, if I don't have internet I can just play the single player without any issues unless the developers added some extra drm protection.
