Right, piracy is a real issue here, but I think DRM and making games a SAAS hurts the industry in the long run. I'm still not convinced it's such an issue that it requires these methods of control. Indie games are constantly releasing titles that do well and become huge. If a game is good it will do well regardless because there will be enough people who pay for it, but I get that it's hard to convince large companies of this.
