As an old school gamer (80's baby), I never agreed with the 'always online' setup that console games are switching to now. Why? Because despite to fact that you spent real money to buy a game, you never really own the game.
In short, the game is yours for as long as the servers remain active. When the servers are shutdown, in which EA is notorious for, there goes all the money you invested in the game..

@ZeroMcDol I completly agree im also born in the 80s, thats why i dont like todays NFS games. Since it is all about public online open world *, it was so much simpler and fun. When it was simple racing on tracks, either offline or in split screen\LAN. But i guess it is cheaper making a allways online game,rather then more offline based one.
- 6 years ago@BVBgamer88 GAAS(Game As A Service) is the current trend of this industry so dev/pubs will try anything they can to make a game connected to internet.But I agree it makes game more complicated.The reason games become service so pubs can shut down the service anytime they want and force old players either leave the fanbase or buy new game.Thus they can get a quicker grab(rob in Heat's case) of money and keep robbing players with updates and DLCs and forced game shut-down
- 6 years ago@GK3512 Yeah and that is the big problem with todays gamingindustry, just take games like Racedriver Grid and Dirt. You cannot play online anymore after Codemasters shut down the servers, that is why i dont like games that have denuvo. I think we the gamers must stop buying games, aslong as developers creates games like that.
- 6 years ago@BVBgamer88 TBH Grid/Dirt are still playable in single player.The real death sentences are to games like NFS2015 which is online only.With games like Heat/2015 focus heavily on online experience,it's almost certain Pubs/Devs never wish game to be remembered for ages(like classic/golden era NFS)Because they can't even be played for ages.The acclaim and sales of NFS are both keep dropping since Ghost takes over completely with junkyard 2015 reboot(Or the half-* Rivals)That's because they dont have talent or time to deliver a polished good game.And that is a big problem of EA itself.With the history of EA killing series/devs I dont think either Ghost or NFS will survive long after Heat flops hell.So even we classic fans dont refuse the game,the series will be doomed to die sooner or later in a predictable future under EA's lead
