If it doesn't work well without the Internet, it's a bad investment. Features that require the Internet degrading a bit is one thing, but if a toilet or toaster can't do its basic job offline, it was ewaste the second it rolled off the factory line.

Same goes for games BTW

Fuck online requirements

Recently noticed how many of my "offline single player" games did not actually work offline, after moving and being without internet for a while.

To anyone reading this, try unplugging your PC and check what your options actually are. I was really disappointed about not being "allowed" to play Red Dead.

Curiously, the pirate version works fine offline.

It's almost as if being online is not an actual technical requirement...
