Can they just give us an offline version and let us do whatever we want on it?
No that would involve you owning the product and thats bad.
Also cuts into their live service cash flow.
Ever since that mobile Diablo game came out, I knew to be wary of this one.
I'm not ever participating in those aspects of the game anyway. I'd be far more likely to buy content if they had an offline mode and published new content as DLC.
thats not how digital ownership works. theres plenty of software with offline versions that you dont "own" in the traditional sense
But then who would buy what they're offering in their online store, item crates and other boxes.
The people who care about the seasonal GAAS content and online MP. I'm not touching that shit either way.
Right? I'm really enjoying it on the deck, but not being able to pause is incredibly frustrating.
