It's going to get to the point where essential files will be hosted on some publisher server that you have to connect to (even in single player), and an MMO scheme will be used where you have to pay a monthly fee and login.

Luckily, I think publishers are mostly concerned with piracy for the first couple weeks of a games' release. If they quit being *******s, maybe they'll remove piracy checks after a month or two. If the game is worth (key word: "worth") playing, a lot of people can't tolerate "the wait" to play a new game, so they'll buy it if it'll get them past piracy garbage.
