Having a disc does not mean it will work offline, unfortunately. These retailers just want to be able to resell used copies so they can make extra money.

I know. I'm saying, the disc game should be fully playable regardless of network connection.

We made full games 20, 30 years ago, released them, and they had no updates, and were almost perfect. Like so many things, humans have just made everything such more for capitalism.
