It doesnt work like that. Guild Wars uses this same system, and it works really great. When there's an update, there's a prompt telling you to restart the game (which you do at your convenience), it installs the updated data to you computer, which is still where the game actually resides.
The server is only for tracking, serving updates to you, and your progress in the game. People dont seem to understand this.
And lol @ anyone complaining about privacy. Privacy for what, what you're doing in a VIDEOGAME? Who cares... the positives of DRM far outweight whatever that privacy complaint is all about.
