Granted it's not going to be a problem for five years at least, but you can bet that MS (or whoever it is that's responsible for this) will pull the plug on the authentication server the very day it becomes unprofitable. If you don't think it'll be needed that far down the road, I will respectfully point out that there are still people out there devising new ways to defeat those copy protection methods on 20 year old games mentioned above.
