The DRM no longer requires contact every 7 days?

It does not appear to. You can set the game to run off line and force update searches through the "StormPowered" utility. Alternatively you can set to run on line for multiplayer or automatic updating.
It's still a DRM scheme but is essentially unobtrusive and also acts as a download and installation/removal utility. I too had refused to buy SES products solely due to their former draconian DRM model but this is so far invisible once in place.
Have noted some very minor hiccups but nothing that detracts form playing as yet. By now most of the technical glitches seem patched out and what remains appear to be mostly specific to the local computer.
