Is there even such a filter? There is a filter for singleplayer/multiplayer but it's not the same thing. There are plenty of games that won't even start offline or the singleplayer experience is severely degraded without a good reason. The modern Hitman trilogy comes to mind. There is no way to filter for that.

At the very least there should be a separate category for games verified to work offline. It would be easier to tolerate if it was a generic Proton compatibility rating, but it's not, it's a rating for how well it works on this handheld.

A hotspot is hardly a solution. If I'd be willing to drain my phone battery in travel, gaming on a phone is an option too. For me saving the phone battery is one of the primary advantages of a dedicated gaming device.

Hot take: a game shouldn't be considered fully verified unless it can be played offline. It's a bloody handheld, I want to play on it while traveling!

Or he's just a scapegoat to recover some reputation and try again later.

"An American company" means very little when they operate outside of America.

I'm not OP but I definitely don't like the DRG battlepass. I don't hate it, but I'm neutral towards it at very best. I'd rather just have this content as part of a regular game progression.

Thanks for the explanation, that makes sense! I didn't consider all these other possibilities.

Sounds weird to me as both can be used for the general creepiness and both allow blocking people if needed. I just don't see the benefit of one over the other here.

EDIT: The other comment explained it to me, I understand it now.

For example if I meet a woman I like, it’s infinitely more socially acceptable to ask for her instagram than it is for her number after meeting.

Is this really a thing now? Any idea why it's considered more acceptable? It's definitely not a thing in my social circles and it got me curious.

Yes, I believe you're correct in terms of them being within their rights to do so. I'm just not aware of them ever actually pulling this trigger, but they technically can.

I have dozens of games in my library that are no longer available to purchase. Often these are games with expired music copyright, though some just removed the music in an update instead. I don't remember a single withdrawn game that would get removed from my library.

Good point, yes, that's an exception. A justified one if you'd ask me but I guess YMMV.

That's definitely how it works with games on Steam or GOG.

My point was that I don't feel being in a community with every man in existence, and likewise I see no point to limit a community to a specific gender, especially in this day and age. "We don't know you, it's the first time I see you" is a valid reason for not considering someone a part of a community (yet) on a fair presumably meant for already established members. "You're a man, go away" just isn't.

Also, since you seem determined to give only brief one-liners in response, I have no interest in continuing this conversation with you.

Quite a bold statement after a single reply from me. Did we have some similar interaction beforehand elsewhere? I usually don't pay much attention to nicknames, so apologies if by chance it was a repeated occurrence.

Ah yes, my favorite community, a gender.

The very fact you're able to do all of this is an effect of politics. And there are people that also would like to have similar rights to exist the way the feel is right for them, but they can't.

AFAIK they already stopped doing this years ago. It's just the case ending only now.

How does it help to write an application storing its files in the right place? It helps the user, sure, but that's not what this post is about.

Wait, what's wrong with TLOU2? I thought it's widely regarded as a masterpiece.

I don't mean offline messaging with messages waiting for the user to go online. I mean the lack of push messaging capabilities, so the user/client doesn't know there is a message waiting until they already go "fully" online.
