Does this game need internet to play singleplayer?

I disconnected the internet and could not enter my map

Yes sadly it does.

Yes, it does. Singleplayer in Eco is nothing else than a multiplayer dedicated server hosted locally and the servers verify ownership of the game for joining players. Eco does not have a separate singleplayer.

I was extremely sad, depending on other people's servers to play or the internet is sad, it's as if the game wasn't mine

Well yes game is made for collaboration play but you can play fine by yourself adjusting a few settings I only play this game solo.

But yeah I understand your feelings for the internet and feeling in a way you don't really own the game.

And for people who have crappy internet or don't always have the internet games requiring net connection even if your playing by yourself become digital dust collectors.

Still remember my first 2 and a half years of the 6 years here where I live no net the majority of the games I had installed on my pc didn't work they all required the net to authorize/enable gameplay lmao.

my dream is that they take this away and the game is really mine, it's a very good game, but it feels like I'm borrowing it

As I have been stating in the past, we unfortunately do not have any plans for removing authentication of players on servers. I can totally understand your opinion on and feelings about that, given I'm a gamer as well, but this is simply a business decision.

When it comes to software in general (not just games) You should never assume that it belongs to you.
As a consumer, we purchase the right to use their piece of software, and we do so under their EULA. This means, they decide the terms for using it, not us.

It's a server/client modeled multiplayer game with singleplayer capabilities.

Not the first 1 made and will definitely not be the last either.

These games are all originally created for multiplayer gameplay at base but most of them are nice enough to allow ways for their game to be played in a singleplayer way.

Which they are smart for doing it and I'm thankful to them because it's the only reason I buy games like this that are mp oriented because I pretty much gave up on mp gaming because of the level of toxicity/racism I was experiencing playing online games with random people.

I'm sorry, they are "nice enough" to allow for a single player way to play? Like the massive workload of ... setting the max number of players on a server to 1? Are you serious?

Was talking about customization of settings to allow single play and not have to rely on others.

And setting max players to 1 won't really allow for single play if you don't change the actual settings that matter to making a single player session enjoyable so your smart ass comment was truly useless and pointless .
