Which most modern single player games require an Internet connection to play.
Ok, I'll bite. Define "modern".

But watch out - I don't like to be called "antique"!

But jokes aside, I actually have a few modern games - less than 5 years old and for PS4 - that do not require internet. Really. Wow. Yes, they still exist. From small studios, mostly.
Lol, are they from companies that actually finish their games and not rely on day 1 patches to make the game playable?

Yeah most new games use DRM that also requires you to be online to use them.
Even the original Dragon Age game used it. That was 2009 I think.
PS4(and consoles in general) don't count, though the newer consoles do require you to be online most of the time, if not all the time now.

If consoles require being online for gaming, then I say they most def count as it would mean I wouldn't play on them. Same as I don't play PC games that require it.
Lena Wolf
Dec 19 2021, 08:16 PM
Consoles do not generally require to be online to play - I know it because I often disconnect network so they wouldn't waste bandwidth. It depends on the game, some require to be online but most don't. The ones that I play, that is. Dragon Age on Xbox360 or PS3 does NOT require to be online. May be PC is different.

Dec 19 2021, 09:05 PM
I said the PS4 doesn't count because the PS5 most certainly wants you to be online constantly. It's become this thing with newer stuff.
Hell, I remember my ex's Xbox 360 throwing a fit when the internet went out.
DRM wants you online. If you don't like online, then you're stuck with older games, and I don't mind it so meh.
Besides, you're already being spied on. Embrace it. i guess.
But that's enough arguing. I'm out again.

Tom got stung and had a mighty swollen paw for a few days. He's been staying away from anything black and yellow striped from that day on! And that includes non-insects - he doesn't trust black and yellow striped tape either.
