So, I bought Back 4 Blood for PS4 hoping for some Left 4 Dead style split screen action with my wife. I get home and look at the back of the box. No split screen, bummer, but then I see the Online Play Required box. Fuck that. I buy physical copies so I can play games way down the line in the future if I want. I don't want a fucking worthless piece of plastic sitting around in a few years, and if I wanted something digital I would have gotten it on pc.

Fuck that shit.

I don't even know if I will. I refused EA's always online bullshit, and I will likely always. The only reason I can see always online is something like mmos, but, even then, I can't see paying for the game. I like Path of Exile's concept for that.

I had a spotty internet connection for the last few years, and I finally have something stable. It's annoying as hell to lose a connection to your friends while playing Monster Hunter World, but I could at least finish the missions, get my carves and continue playing the game.

That sucks. Plus I can understand not wanting to do it just based on principle. You own the game why the hell do you need to be online to play the damn thing
