Just take the 5 minutes it takes to make an account and enjoy an awesome game. Use a fake email if you must.

That's not really possible now that Microsoft shut down GFWL. Just grab the pirate version.

I'm currently playing Dark Souls under Windows (I bought it during a Steam sale some days ago), and don't understand this. When the game launches it needs and account in "Games for Windows Live". I created an offline (local) profile without any trouble. Honestly, I don't know if my saved games are going to the cloud or not, but the game is working and I didn't have to sign up for any service or give an email address.

Here's a short (less than one minute) video on how to create a local profile:
