Man, this whole escapade has made me love Steam all the more. What an utter fiasco.
The sad part is, there really is no hardcore DRM for this game. You can install it offline and play offline as long as you have a key.
I guess they just got way more purchases than they expected.
What I meant was that that makes the GFWL client all the more useless. You only need it to get a game key. But instead, it cannot even handle that.

I was looking forward to playing this, but apparently Microsoft doesn't want my money.

EDIT: Nevermind, think I've figured it out and/or found where they hide it. *NM*

Wait, why is that sad? Less DRM means more customer rights. It can only be a good thing.

Pretty much this entire escapade has served only to strengthen my allegiance to Steam.

Yes, but the keys were icing on the cake.

The GFWL client is unnecessary.

I know those facts. It's just funny that the console doesn't "Play" when you press "Play".
