@ChugKendallTrue, but again this is a moot point because how often do you actually see a game retailer "revoke" your license to a game you bought? lol You buy the game and go home, or download it. That was the whole controversy behind DRM since DRM and "always online" is basically the only way to shut someone down from playing what usually is an offline game. Same thing in music.
@ArchAngeL-PCXThe retailer doesn't own the game, so they can't revoke anything; it is up to the owner to do that, and they usually do it through policing agreements with their network partners. But as the owner, the company should be able to do whatever they want with their product, anyway--including telling you that you are no longer allowed to use it. You agreed to all of the the terms involved when you voluntarily purchased a limited license to play it. If you didn't want to be bound by any terms, you had the choice to keep your money. Instead, you wanted to play the game, and be bound, more than you wanted your money in your wallet--or your convictions intact.
@ChrisAWJBethelRead the Terms and conditions. You don't own the game's software, you have a license to use it in the same way you buy a license to use MS Word or Excel for example.
As to revoking the license this could include being caught cheating, altering the code or unauthorised copying. These do happen regularly.
It could also include shutting the game down for whatever reason and you won't have a leg to stand on because you accepted and 'signed' the terms and conditions when you bought the license.
Going to end it right here with my Final Argument. Really hope the Community Managers and others from EA and DICE read this:
I can completely understand and accept having to be online and connected to the servers in order to play with friends.
What we are asking for is that the Solo SinglePlayer Bot Matches be playable offline. That's frickin it !!!
How does us playing offline effect others in any way whatsoever?
The only correct answer is that it doesn't !!!
It doesn't take away any "online features" either because we are still playing the Same Maps and Modes as everyone else.
Heck the Solo Bot Matches themselves are already in the game from the start !!!
All we are asking for is that we can eventually play them offline as well for those that have slow internet and especially for when the servers themselves are down !!!
The servers will go down. They are still broken in Both TitanFall games and on Xbox at least they are still down for Battlefields 4 and 1 as well. This is Unacceptable !!!
They will probably be overwhelmed for Day 1 just like the launches for every other multiplayer game so far.
If so then the game will be completely unplayable no matter how good your own internet is... Unless we can play it offline.
This is why they are needed the most. I really want to get the Ultimate Edition to support DICE for adding the Bot Matches finally. But a big part of me doesn't want to pay $100+ for something that is completely unplayable when the servers are down... It really is as simple as that.
Yes I know there is already another thread for this but this post is too important to be buried so I am making it's own topic here.
And I seriously hope those from EA and DICE fully read this to understand why this is important.

The servers will go down eventually and probably even at release. They are still broken in Both TitanFall games and on Xbox at least they are still down for Battlefields 4 and 1 as well. This is Unacceptable!

Please DICE don't let this game die like those others have. Please let us play the Solo Matches with AI Soldiers Offline!
@Trokey66I'm forced to agree- otherwise I can't play the game, and just not playing the game doesn't solve anything. It's just like how African-Americans (at first) were forced to accept the laws concerning slavery and Jim Crow.
@Trokey66You know, instead of thinking of reasons why offline bots can't and shouldn't be implemented into Battlefield, you could just as easily come up with reasons as to why they can and should.
