They wouldnt rebuild the entire game when all their servers are doing is holding people save files and tracking stats. That's nothing. There would never be a need to do that.

DRM is also great as time goes by, it allows them to improve the look of the game over time, updating textures and whatnot. Its really cool.

Somebody open this guy's eyes: NOT EVERYBODY HAS STEADY INTERNET CONNECTION. Speaking about internet connection (just in the USA) about 30% of people still have dial-up. Do you seriously think that they play pay-per-hour game?
