Wait, how can the game lag because of a bad connection? Was he streaming the game itself for some reason? Surely the Muskrat can afford a gaming rig for his plane to run it locally.

I haven't played PoE2 but PoE is always online and server dependent.

But he wasn't lagging he's just bad.

OK, I only know the game by name and was vaguely aware that it's single player or at least can be played single player.

It can be played single player, but even in single player mode it's still online, presumably so the club of hArDcOrE gAmErS that Musk is trying to be a part of can brag to each other about their leaderboard scores or whatever (and also as DRM)

It can't really be played single player, it just have faux single player mode when you can't trade or party with others but you still need to be online.

Pillars of Eternity is the single player CRPG that has the same abbreviation (that you might be confusing this for)
