And there's no reason to leave the DLC validation locked once the online servers go down. It's a simple courtesy to release one last patch to unlock the DRM on them and let people keep playing the shit they payed for.
Pretty sure this is what happened with multiple games when GFWL finally died. Dirt 3 and the Arkham Games are some I own which got upgraded to the GOTY version with DLC unlocked for all users, in the GFWL removal patch. Contrast with Ubisoft doing this, or Bulletstorm (where Gearbox basically patched out GFWL and re-released the game at 10x the usual Steam sale price). Sign of the scummiest of the scum publishers.
