The only reason why the game console industry is succesful is because games need to be linked to an account. It works on the PC too; Steam is one of the platforms that uses this kind of DRM.
The only problem is: if the manufacturer of the console decides that the old console from 2006 is junk and remove the support for it from their accounts, or in case of steam, Valve dies, then all your games become unplayable and worthless.
Mark my words. I've said it in another topic. If the ebook industry can get it done, one way or another, they'll require every e-reader to have a permanent internet connection, and they will start streaming books, page by page.
