I think that’s just for the initial install. And seriously, you’re using the internet right now to post this… you sort of need internet for things to work in 2024. My job requires it or we’re dead in the water. I also need it for Netflix and online shopping. I don’t think it requiring a network connection for an install is this crazy terrible thing. No hyperbole here, but when I play a game I always connect to the internet. If my internet goes down I’m on the phone with Comcast immediately, I am not playing a game without my home having a network connection. If there’s no internet that’s priority number 1 and 99.99999% of time it’s just a brief outage that is fixed in less than an hour and even when that happens it’s a rare occurrence.
Helldivers 2, the most beloved game of this year so far, requires an internet connection to play… where is all the hate on that one?
