The problem also is, Digital Distribution, always on and all the content that is supposed to be online connected...well considering, that the internet is close to collapsing in terms of capacity. In Germany the main ISP (Telekom you might know T-Mobile, thats those guys) talks about reintroducing Bandwith Budgets,…
The problem with offline mode is, it works fine if you have a connection to fall back on. But if you go for extended periods without internet access, you have to be certain that you always exit Steam before you shut down your PC.
