SimCity wasn't just "DRM heavy", it was totally unplayable for the first week after the launch because a ton of people were trying to play it at the same time and being stopped by its overloaded DRM servers.

Other AAA titles have also had horrible, show-stopping launches. If the core game is good, the players will tolerate a lot of bullshit.
