I have to agree with OP. There is no need to buy game separately if it will be online only. Who want to play can just subscribe to EA Play service. In any case you just rent a game, when EA will decide to shut down servers, there will be nothing left.
EA has so far failed to reply to a simple question, if game will be playable offline. Developers at DICE take years of hard work to develop such amazing models, mechanics, graphics that Battlefield games contain, just to be everything dumped after several years and there is nothing left for fans to keep playing this masterpiece.
Unfortunately i won't be able to buy this game, If there wont be a simple offline mode. And it is quite sad that this is probably where my Battlefield veteran collection also end.
