Well yes, there's still hope with some publishers. Bohemia Interactive even dropped the basic CD-Check from Armed Assault 2 with the 1.05 patch. They purposely "unprotected" their game for the convenience of the paying customers. And that is after all the best military ground sim currently on the market, not a budget title.
Fallout3, the best RPG of last year, also came with Copy Protection only on the setup interface, the game executable itself runs without disk check.
So there are Triple-A titles made with little to no protection, still. I just hope if "always online" becomes en vogue with the big publishers, these smaller companies will not follow.
BTW, for example with Black Shark - if DCS would promise to patch out the Activation requirement a year or two after release, I would buy it tomorrow. I don't see why they can't remove online DRM after a given time if other companies can remove the last bits of copy protection fully.
