Oh man this is such great news. I haaaaaated gfwl. I didn't realize I would need it for Arkham City and I screwed myself out of a save file when I couldn't log online to continue playing at home.
Though I am curious to what their newer plans are. They got some kind of new brass in charge of that division now and he was a higher up at Steam.

Well it looks like the rumors of GFWL have more fuel for the fire. Apparently, the webpage for Age of Empires Online shows that Games For Windows Live is shutting down servers.
Furthermore, people looking into the code for the two earlier Arkham games show that the GFWL and maybe even SecureROM DRMs are being deactivated!

How very interesting. So we could see a patch soon to remove it from my other Arkham games? Brilliant!

you don't have to be online to play a game with gfwl. i can't remember the workaround for arkham asylum, but it works (saves an all). it'a a general workaround coz it worked for other gwfl games on my steam account too.

You create an offline profile, but that doesn't work with all games, oddly enough, this keeps you from getting banned when bootlegging or in Dark Souls' case, when you use the 60fps mod.

My issue was I started the game when online and played it a good deal. Only one come home and need to be online. I couldn't connect so I couldn't play my game. I had to start over with a offline profile work around. Just made the entire service more of a waste of time.
