This is the case in steam already. There are lots of (mainly Indy) games that will start fine without steam.

You just rent a license on Steam. So it’s a definition of DRM.

The definition of digital rights management is licensing? That does not sound right to me.

A long time before steam the software sector moved to selling licenses only btw.
