And like every other DRM, it's just going to be something that the people who bought the game and play it unaltered will be forced to deal with in one way or another... while those who modify the game, emulate or pirate it, won't. I love DRMs. Nothing like feeling like a sucker for actually buying the game and not cracking it.
Like Resident Evil Village before they fixed it.

It shouldn't be a problem if it's properly implemented, but games are so broken these days and take months to fix if lucky that it's insulting to paying customers. Properly implemented DRM is not a guarantee when games have been unoptimized even without it.
Even perfectly implemented DRM steals cycles that can't possibly benefit any gamer ever in any way.
At the very least even if it runs beautifully it ends up being an annoyance on Steam Deck and offline play interrupting your game session as though you are the pirate as opposed to an actual customer who paid. While the pirates laugh at the experience you should be getting.
