Well, the big issues will appear if steam tries to mess with customised installs (patching etc.), has compatibility issues or hems in multiplayer modes.
IMHO, the issues Silent Hunter V had with DRM wouldn't have existed if it was a FPS. If your shooting ten bullets at an opponent and your saving game cause the two which are airborne to disappear - it is no big deal. But, if you've spent three hours setting up a torpedo run in a Type-II and saving game causes half of your torpedoes for that tour to vanish from the water...
A lot of these big companies don't understand our genre.
