Ya, I noticed that when my net disconnected earlier. I get why since it was a mobile game originally.

It's also our form of DRM. Everytime we update the game the old version becomes out of date. People who download the game from torrents can't play anymore at that time.

Emm, always online, pass. Steam is a drm. Yours is pointless and customer unfriendly. Looks like I'll spend my money elsewhere.

Yep, that's good too. It's not too expensive to just buy it!

Yes, we changed it. We thought about it and adding a offline mode makes for a better experience for some users.

Oh wow, wait.. what? This has online-DRM? Oh hell no. No way. When is this "offline" mode coming? A solid release date please, otherwise I'll be requesting a refund from Steam.

Please read the comment right above yours.

Yes, I read the part where you say it will be added in the next update - I'd like to know when that update is, please :) We only have a 14 day window for refunds so I'd like to know that I'm not going to be locked into online-only DRM before my window is up.

(I'm sorry if I'm coming across as snippy and demanding, but your store page makes no statement about any online-only DRM and I absolutely would not have purchased had I seen one)

That update went live immediately after the post. So it's live already.
