the difference being that an MMO actually needs other players since it's a multiplayer game by design - it lives and breathes interactions with other players, quests, dungeons, and raids would work without them. A, essentially, skating simulator game that you're usually playing on your own, outside of dedicated multiplayer that is, does not need an always-online feature to function

Edit: nvm apparently it's an MMO skate game - disregard my comment
