Yep. We all learned years ago. Anything that needs an always on network to play an offline game is bs because sooner or later that network is not available.

PSN was down for almost a full month during the PS3 era. Imagine the impact if it would happen again.

Homes would be cleaner, romances would blossom, and the value of Frito-Lay would nosedive?

I doubt PSN being down will be enough to stop the slobs from continuing to act like a bunch of lazy fat fucks. Let's not get too crazy.

Edit: To clarify those who can't interpolate, I'm referring to that specific subset of people, not saying all PS players are those slobs

"If a service needs to be online to play, it will eventually be offline at peak times".

Any company that will insist on an always on game is the same kind of company to cut corners on their IT staff.

You can't use the license with we sold you because we can't jerk off in the corner and watch you play.

Please come back once we fix our shit.
