I remember reading that DRM is really only helpful at launch time anyway as it can slow down (but not stop) pirates, ideally forcing those most excited ahout your game to pay. Once your sales are slowing / pirates have already broken the DRM there really is no further point to it, unless maybe you're regularly publishing updates and the DRM is still slowing the pirates?
