Thats the problem though. If you don't run the game or let it online when it wants to check, it stops working until it can. A reasonable example of how this could go wrong is that your internet connection goes down on the day before its due to check, for 2 weeks. No game until your net connection is sorted.
Another 2 examples from the digg thread i read were: A guy who is stationed on a sub and plays games on his laptop when not on duty and can be stationed on the sub for months at a time, and another guy who works offshore with no internet connection for 8 weeks at a time. Both people who would have bought the game legit and played, forced into using piracy / cracks to play a game they bought legally.
