Sony has released a statement clarifying the ongoing DRM situation finally explaining what's going on after days of conflicting information.
In a statement issued to Game File, a Sony rep explains, "Players can continue to access and play their purchased games as usual. However, "A one-time online check is required after purchase to confirm the game’s license, after which no further check-ins are needed." Effectively, your console will need to check once that you have access to the game's license, and after that, you'll be free to use it for good (or for as long as online services remain available for PlayStation platforms anyway).
