You wish, I wish, we wish.
No guarantee, though. Removing DRM is still work to do, as a new patch has to be issued.
And like already stated above, DRM servers are not only used by SH5. It's similar with Securom online activation servers.
The part very specific to a game is just some storage.
Already mentioned before, on this forum. Only two cases of DRM removal that I've personally read about
: Bioshock, in which the DRM was actually not removed, but activation servers would always reply "OK" to activation requests (thus online activation service still required), and I've read about SH... was it 3 or 4... where a "pirate EXE" version was officially distributed to remove the DRM.
EDIT: ooops, from the link above, seems they did so with R6 Vegas 2, too.
Note that this "option" is only available to a publisher if a such a file exists for its game.
