I think that popularity of this topic is sending clear message to DICE/EA.
When they decided to make game online only, they had to accept the possibility of a negative feedbacks from many players. Previous Battlefield titles all had some kind of campaign which we were able to play offline. Although players have been asking for offline bots mode for years, Battlefield 2042 will be title where I personally draw the line and will not buy game, if there wont be some kind of offline mode at some point.
Renting a game is just nonsense and this is not true Battlefield anymore in my opinion.

A lot of of games you buy today are just rented property which you don't really own. You can find a few titles here and there on platforms like Steam but it's the way it is for now. That's why I'm slowly switching to GOG - no fuss about connection availability, launchers etc. Unfortunately, a lot of devs don't care about DRM free options so you're stuck with a choice to ''rent'' a game or not to play it at all. But it's been slowly changing in positive direction for last few years.
