How is it that people on a "tech site" don't know anything about this issue?Online-only games are never sustainable. Bound to go off one day.
Nothing like going back to single player offline games. How games used to be previously. As for multiplayer games, there's nothing like playing with your friends using your own server or hosted by friends, via TCP/IP.
There is no such thing as a single player offline game anymore because all the major publishers dropped support for standalone hard copy games long ago. Almost all games, even the ones that are technically supposed to be offline single player, are distributed and connected via a third party client like Steam, Epic Games, EA App, etc. In many cases, you won't be able to play or access key features of this single player game without logging into the client, and the publisher or distributor are free to remove it or cripple features at will.
