    I stand by this: a game should not need any internet connection to play. Same goes for any appliance or car.

    “But EVERYONE has internet!!” Is not a valid argument.

    Can we make some fucking laws for this?!

      If your product requires internet, it’s actually a service.

      And yes, Cars as a Service (CaaS) can die.

      Having a disc does not mean it will work offline, unfortunately. These retailers just want to be able to resell used copies so they can make extra money.

        I know. I’m saying, the disc game should be fully playable regardless of network connection.

        We made full games 20, 30 years ago, released them, and they had no updates, and were almost perfect. Like so many things, humans have just made everything such more for capitalism.
