I've got mixed feelings on the online DRM, too. I don't mind activating a game after purchasing it (or rather, I understand why it's a necessity), but having to be connected every time I play is a little much. I am usually connected when I play, so it's more of a "matter of principles" issue for me, more than a practical one. I don't really want a company to track my gaming habits, and I don't want to have to have a connection every time I play (laptop, for example).
Not to mention the possibility of the company discontinuing the service, which may not matter for a shooter or some "play through once" type of game, but it certainly does for a HoMM title. I may end up passing too, at least for the full retail price.
