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.

And yet we will still fail the target for stopkillinggames.com People just don't care.

Yeah I posted about that shit a long time ago, I knew people weren't gonna respond, we all saw the numbers. It had the momentum of fucking syrup.

They deserve to get their games deleted. I hope they get real fucking mad about it. Impotent rage, just completely red faced, making little comments and posts here and there pleading and wilding out, writing nasty shit, getting a fucking aneurysm.

Then giving up and moving on, accepting how powerless they are, despite not really being powerless at all. That's the real tragedy of it.

Curiously, the pirate version works fine offline.

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

Or use them on your Steam Deck or equivalent in the train.
