I would seriously NEVER consider buying a game with a DRM like this. Seriously. What's going to happen if 6-7 years from now, or even 10 years from now, I decide to crack open my Silent Hunter 5 to have another go. Will the required server and service that I need to connect to still be around or am I screwed when they change or remove their servers in the future ?

I can't tell you how many games I have that are older that have that "Click here to automaticly update" button, but can't update because the company changed or removed their servers and some of these games are only 5-6 years old.
