The 24 hours thing is really what solidifies it IMO. Even if they made it so that it had to be online to authenticate the game install, and that persisted unless you did a factory reset or the drive failed or something that would be far better.

People already accept that for other things, if Amazon suspends your account you lose all your eBooks eventually if your reader fails, and there isn't huge uproar about that.

Or maybe there isn't because most people don't know the consequences of heavy DRM unless it's right in front of their nose like the 24 hour requirement.
