I'm not familiar with Origin's DRM (or the one that will be used on the next SimCity), but if I got the game, would I and my girlfriend be able to play it at the same time, each on their own computer at home, or would we need two separate Origin accounts and buy the game twice?
Play SimCity on two computers at the same time

With Origin, you can install as many copies as you like. But when you start the game, you need to log in Origin. You cannot login at two different computers at the same time.
If you are playing and your girlfriend logs in, you will be put in offline mode. It seems like you have to be online to play the game. See this link.
