The info is here and none of that "DRM" means you can't in the future, after the servers are down, install the game from your copy of the offline installer and play it.
None of that is DRM in the sense we're talking about here: the kind of mechanism that allows the game to be taken away from you or won't let you install it or play it in single-player anymore when the publisher decides they don't want to pay for servers anymore.
It is, none the less, a deviation from the No-DRM promise, IMHO.
