Rather annoying too… sometimes I miss games that didn’t require you or some server to be online…
Only sometimes? I can’t bring myself to buy those games anymore. It’s not some lost technology to make a video game work without an internet connection.
Yeah, it’s a sad trend really
You can’t buy digital items from them if you are offline, now can you?
But I’ll usually be online even if I have the option to be offline. It just means that I know the game will continue to work even if they’re not running a server somewhere. The dominant use case is still going to be going online to see their new goofy costumes that I can buy, because it’s easier than setting up a private server, and because that’s where everyone else is.
Since the Steam Deck I’ve been prioritizing games that don’t require high frequency of online check backs. Or I guess I could use cracks, but I don’t want to have to do that.
This is most of the reason why I haven’t bought D4. (Well, that and I got burned real hard by D3 midnight release.) I liked single player games BECAUSE they didn’t require internet access.
Understandable. It’s been fun so far though.
