Take the tinfoil hat off.
Way to go. Insinuate someone`s crazy for speculation. I do not believe it`s DRM, cos you can play Offline (I mean completely disconnected from the net) with no issues at all so far. But I hate it when someone tries to shame another this way.
Well then they shouldn't act paranoid. Why would they use ventures as drm? That makes no sense.
one of the complaints on GoG.
WARNING! Not really DRM-free.

Egosoft account, registration of game’s key (as an equivalent for linking of Steam account) and internet connection are REQUIRED for access to several core-features. Since patch 1.5 “ventures” are added. While they presented as completely optional “pseudo-multiplayer” activities, they are the only way to get certain in-game items/gameplay options without the use of cheats and/or exploits. They are also the only reliable way for crew leveling, which is extremely slow without this “optional content” (more than week of non-stop gameplay is not enough to level-up NPC to “5-stars”, and there are dozens or even hundreds of NPCs in player’s fleet). Combined with introduction of “EgoCredits” it leads to concerns about microtransactions for “time savers”. Those activities were coded in game before (they were discovered in game files at the first day and achievement for them was on steam from the beginning), but were added only 3 weeks later. Presumably to circumvent “no DRM, single-player game” limitations.
I never personal try it but their is truth to this you need to be on-line to use ventures and getting your ship painting. (so sort of DRM)
as for his other points like the stars can be frustrating it's takes indeed years to level them up. as for his EgoCredits it's a whole other topic.
