A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Steam at least promised the games be playable without needing Steam to be online.

A promise they have never honored. This was made blatantly clear when the steamdeck came out.

Only some games can run in offline mode.

Well, some games are dependent on online mode, or don't make sense in offline mode. Especially MMOs. In the end, it's just shutting down the game servers.

Got any specific names?

Almost every of the 1000 games in my steam account. Almost every game on there has coherent singleplayer mode.
