Disagreed. GFWL is DRM. Could you bypass it? Sure, just like you can bypass any DRM with a crack or workaround. However, you aren't supposed to and it's most certainly a violation of the DMCA. GFWL + disc check = DRM.

What? You bypass it by ignoring it. The game did not require GFWL activation. The only reason you activated was to get achievements and such, there was no requirement to do so. Every GFWL title is like this actually, you can play with an offline profile by ignoring GFWL.

However they have recently added an online activation during the install process, which makes it DRM. Dead Rising 2 was the first to do this.
