Can some of you people stop defending always online?

[VTubers are cringe]

Some of you really need to stop chugging the Overkill Kool-Aid and realise this decision is moronic. If the servers go down FOR ANY REASON, you can't play the game. If you have a poor connection, you can't play the game. When the servers inevitably get shut down when the game loses its profitability, you can't play the game FOREVER. Want to come back and enjoy this game a decade down the line? If the developers permanently pulled the plug for whatever reason during that time, then too bad, you can't.

im not here to argue about that unleashed xD
im informing you about the steam system to correct you and inform you that the profile is lvl 0 becaus of the private :D the moment you make it private to the public the lvl will be hidden aswell :)

I know, hence this part of my reply:
I mean, this isn't Facebook, your real identity isn't listed anywhere, so why make it 100% private? You can block friend requests & visibility without having a totally private account.

So my guess: 90%+ of them are people who crack the game and play on illegitimate ser

You are comically overestimating the number of PC users who know how to use a torrent or where to find a repack of a game. Steam solved the issue of piracy years ago and I know this as fact when PC as a platform has grown significantly and overshadows console sales for some companies who used to entirely be focused on console sales (Capcom, SEGA, etc.).

People give a ♥♥♥♥ about a game being "online only" for the general longevity of the game and being able to play the thing in the future. I'm not worried about my internet connection. I simply don't trust studios or companies to care about what happens to the game if it doesn't have enough of a revenue stream to justify adding more content or even keeping servers up. Especially when the last two games had offline play options, it just looks like a downgrade. What does Payday 3 benefit from being "online only" 24/7 beyond the option of cross-play (a thing that developers could and preferably should make optional too)?

There are enough posts about this topic, why make more?

Because through some truly impressive mental gymnastics there are still people who flat refuse to accept that this "feature" is stupid, so I thought to just place the reasons why front and centre.

is the feature dedicated servers? cause P2P sucks
