EA: "DRM is a failed dead-end strategy"

From how they've described it, the seamless (and unrequested) multiplay aspect of the game sounds like a key feature, and so I'm not sure about that — it might make the game a lot less fun and satisfying if they've balanced it around that being present. But we'll see, eh. We're still massively short of detail when it comes to just how the game will play!
Well, if it's like MMO launches when I say "until they can handle" it's usually a matter of hours not weeks like Invasion was.
