The complaint was always about having to be connected to play, not what it was called, so what's the difference?

The difference is if you have to have a gateway application installed or not in order to run the game. SH5 has a gateway app, its called Uplay. Even with an offline mode, you have to login to verify your credentials at least once. If for whatever reason your credentials are lost or reset on your machine, you'll have to logn to re establish your credentials again.
Sh3 and Sh4 have no gateway application. No login is requried at all, no credentials need to be stored.
This is why the title is misleading. There IS a DRM in SH5. All that was changed, was the addition of an offline mode that should have been there to begin with.
