That info is just not true.
Only thing they want to put is a system to check ownership of Mysteries of Westgate pack, and any other new downloadable content, that can only be bought online.
Similar to NWN1 premium modules.
It should in no way affect how NWN2, MotB, or even new upcoming expanion (Storm of Zehir) works.
The idea is to protect game assests of such downloadable content, like its haks, modules or so, so you can't, for example, just copy them from someone else, like it's possibile with Oblivion downloadable content, and use them without paying.
Executables still uses old fashioned DVD-check, only.
