Any MMO. Of course nobody blinks twice about that.

Technically Steam doesn't work 100% of the time when you don't have an active internet connection, but that hasn't stopped them from keeping PC gaming alive in many respects.

Of course it's a stupid idea that those who really don't want to pay to play will find ways to circumvent, but seriously; the backlash that happens every time some publisher tries to come up with a new (not so) clever way of protecting their IPs is almost always an overreaction.
