DRM while unpalatable to many is currently the only way to move forward if like myself you consider digital as moving forward. I hate and despise disks, they are something to get lost/damaged/stolen and the requirement to put it in the drive is an pointless irritation that results from lack of good DRM solution. The online every 24 hours I think was at best an average idea for implementing it and was terribly marketed. However a well thought out DRM strategy that allowed me to move to digital only where my library follows me and not the physical disk while still retaining my rights to sell/loan/share my game to me is the future. This could be done by including certificates or unique identifiers in disks and with downloads giving the best of both worlds (ie not crippling offline play while still giving full benefits of a digital world).
