More and more games are now and more will be coming as download only. Steam has demostrated just how popular this is. Tombraider 2013 was download Steam only. Even the consoles have their online components. If you are not online you won't be able to get patches and the patches are required to install packs. IDK what to tell you but even Bioshock disc has SecuROM on it and that requires onlilne activation.
I'm really upset about this too. I moved into a house with no internet and bought this game, since I am a long time fan and misplaced my original Sims 3 in the move. I have been sitting at the library for three hours and the game is only installed at 30%. I could not be more angry. I loved playing the sims since the original and now I no longer feel that I will be purchasing the games anymore if this continues.
