Though we hate DRM and most likely it's forced on by all game companies by publishers or insurance companies they have contracts with. If you like the software then buy it. If you don't financially support a company they will become extinct. Lar has shared their close calls of this happening before the product went live. Game developers need Pizza and Mountain Dew (or Pepsi) too. :P
I do like the move of Larian to get as independent as possible. Perhaps that is the future of all developers as well.
As not all game companies use DRM (Stardock), it would seem that there is a choice.
One of the main diffrences to consider when buying digitally when compared to a store selling physical media is if they are likely to stick around in case you need to redownload. In this a single developer is at a disadvantage when compared to a service selling games from many developers. If a few other devs (number depending on if any of the others are companies that make games I might buy) were to sell through the vault, then I would seriously consider buying game through it (assuming about equal price and DRM/copy protection that is not too much of a pain).
