    The thing is, I don’t need to be online.

    I bet most people are playing single player.

    Apart from the people doing multiplayer 10-20%?) everyone else could just be offline.

    This is for them.

      But it also proves that if a company gives a shit, they can do it. This can be achieved with lower costs and experience, so in time the costs will come down.

      Whereas Activision blizzard don’t give a fuck and anytime there’s a new DlC or game there’s significant downtime despite being a multi billion dollar company. Why people continue to support them I’ll never know
