It's ridiculous that the responsibility falls to the consumer to even be aware that this is a possibility. I don't think most people understand a game labeled "Internet connection required" is really saying "Developer-hosted server required", so someone could pick up a physical copy of The Crew a few months from now, say "no problem, I have Internet", and not be able to play the single-player game (The Crew does have multi-player, but the appeal to me seems to be the single-player campaign) they thought they had bought.
- kevincox 3y ago> a game labeled "Internet connection required" is really saying "Developer-hosted server required" Because it literally isn't saying that! It is hinting at it. Having an internet connection is a subset of the requirement to access to the developer-hosted server. If the actual requirement is "Must have access via the internet to a service that we run but may shut down whenever we feel like it won't harm our reputation too much" then that is what they should write.
