Thankee-sai for your generous and condescending offer! But please, downvote. It‘s not about games that never need an internet connection, but I‘m not against the petition.

You misunderstand me. It wasn't out of consideration for you; it's just a vote. I just want to remind myself that the person I want to be doesn't make snap judgements on half of a hot take. There hasn't been enough substance to affect me. You don't have to answer my original question, but I am still curious.

It‘s not about games that never need an internet connection

That is half correct. The big point is for games that are singleplayer that you pay up front for that require a internet connection for no good reason.

How is that half correct? A game that requires an internet connection for no good reason is still a game that requires one, no?

[–] Goldmage263@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

Well, it requires one because the producer said so, not because the game can't function otherwise. That's what makes it half-correct.

Having the "server" locally hosted on your device would fix it, but they just let it die without allowing those who purchased the game to be capable of playing it. That's the big push behind this movement, not online only multiplayer games. Everyone knows those die eventually.
