Internet Connection required
Hello,

I saw in minimal requirements that internet connection is mandatory.

Can we know why it is required? (Internet should never be mandatory for solo game).

Thanks :)

The game has something similar to Sims 4 gallery where you can browse and download other peoples creations. You can go offline after starting the game though... probably.

It's 2025 (almost). If you don't have a constant connection to the internet, you must live in the middle of nowhere; ergo.. 0.001% of the gaming population.

Edit: get some Starlink ffs.

Probably because of this excerpt

"...forming deep relationships through interactions. With a complete community simulation of every character acting on their free will..."

Only for sharing your creations with other people, or downloading theirs for your game. Similar to Sims 4. I think inZOI is calling their version Canvas.

That's all very fun and all, until the developers drop support for their games and you end up with a game that can't be launched because of that.

Also, single player games should NEVER require a constant internet connection, it's nonsensical. Apologists of this practice need to realise how much harm it's doing to game preservation.

Well it does make updating a hell of a lot easier!

i want it off. having it as a requirement for a single player game is a deal breaker.

i don't see the appeal of investing in a single player game that has a guaranteed self destruct expiry date, online servers consumes allot of money and resources and it relies heavily on active players/user counts.
the deactivation will bound to get triggered at any time in the future.

its sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

i also don't want to be forced to create another account on another site just to play the game, id rather all that nonsense be optional like with the steam version of the sims 3.

Not buying mmo life Simulation game if they want to go that route make it free.
Not everyone has the ability to upgrade there wifi type.

ITS A LIFE SIMULATION GAME IT DOESNT NEED 24/7 WiFi.

but go ahead they can do that just makes other games like Paralives look better no dlc free updates one price & doesn't need 24/7 WiFi.

Quite simple on my end : if i realise the game is forcing you to stay online to play, i ll ask a refund right away.

Forced online is like having a leash around your neck, no thanks.

It is not an MMO, it is listed as a singleplayer game on the Steam page.

Hopefully a constant internet connection will not be required, and there will be an option to play offline, like any other reasonable singleplayer game.

Same thanks to steams 2 hr thing & my humans teaching me if it doesn't work refund it isn't bad,
I'll buy it then run tests to make sure it runs on my deck & can boot up without any wifi, launchers or log in junk & if it doesn't work right I'll refund,
cause I got other games I can put the cash towards.
