I couldn’t play Baldur’s Gate 3, a single-player game, when my internet went out. That pissed me right off.

Yeah that’s what I meant by sometimes

Its becoming a trend where game companies are now making single player games require a internet connection just to play. I saw some games on Steam where single player games come with anti-cheat, like wtf.

Becoming a trend? This has been a regular frustration in gaming since the PS3 generation.

If you pirated it you could have played it offline though. Paying customers get a worse experience than pirates

Could you give more details? On which platform did this happen?

Xbox series X. I couldn’t sign in to my profile, so the game wouldn’t load because I bought it electronically and it’s tied to my user. I sent them a little love letter for that.

Generally this works just fine if the console you are using is set to your “home console”. That’s what the home console toggle is for. I could see this being an issue if you have multiple consoles in your house, or you are game sharing with another profile.
