Also baiting achievement whores with free games is real classy.
Please employ a designer to make your games service next time, instead of a one armed monkey with no eyes who does nothing but mimic software conventions from the mid fucking 90s.
As for GFWL I have no interest in it beyond exclusive download-only titles like said Tinker. That's both because 1) I still prefer retail boxed copies for more ownership rights, and 2) because when I do buy digital Steam has me covered.
I don't think any digital distribution outlet requires you be online at all times to play games, only when installing.
That alone is annoying though, I would agree, but much less horrible than you imply.
