As far as I know, in the US it is practice to sell you a use licence, so you are in fact just renting itm or buy the right to use it, and get a disc as bonus.
I the Netherlands there was a judge who decided some years ago, that if you buy a CD its yours, and should be unrestricted. (like windows)
They legally cannot us the US way here, and I think it is in most EU countries this way.
You should get what you pay for and not a sneeky fee system or a hidden subscription, payed or not.
Then on the box should clearly state:
'you have the right to play it by online check as long as we see fit' Good luck.
