We shouldn't need the internet to play!

@EA_Leeuw I would like to be able to play my single player games when my internet is down. There is no reason why it needs to connect to your servers every time we play. Upon first start-up sure, verify the purchase and make it so every time it is installed it has to check in with your severs. That would be reasonable. Maybe set it up to report how the game is used whenever you next connect to the internet if you absolutely need our gaming metrics. I own three single player EA games that I have not been able to play for days because your end in unresponsive. I can play Warframe, No Man's Sky, Marvel Rivals, Star Wars the Old Republic, Guild Wars, and more online games with friends with no issues... But a single player game though EA? Unresponsive servers. Yes I have uninstalled, resinstalled, updated, restarted, and repaired the app multiple times. No it does not make a difference. I just want to be able to play a game I love and I own but instead I am forced to persue refunds because your service is the worst I have ever seen. Mass effect 110GB of wasted space I can't access half the time. Plus another 100GB between Jedi Fallen Order and Mass Effect Andromeda. 210GB that needs to be approved before each use by your unreliable servers. Your greedy company in its attempts to prevent piracy (presumably) has made your products lose whatever value they should have. For shame.
