I love GFWL. It's pretty much the only factor I consider when buying original PC games. Why the hell would you not want it?

There is no reason to buy an original game if it only has disadvantages over the pirated version (DRM).

There was a GFWL bug in Arkham City that deleted saves at random. Last I checked it still wasn't patched either. Pretty annoying.

Aside from that, any games that use GFWL tend to have terrible online/matchmaking.

Would've been awesome if Dark Souls used Steamworks, being able to join multiplayer games from your Steam friends list just makes the experience much more seamless.
