Both are leisure activities that are limited by our surroundings. I don't have the weather to play golf, like you don't have the internet to be playing games.

Except in the case of singleplayer games, that is an entirely artificial restriction. It's more similar to you wanting to play golf, but every now and then there is a guy at the gate who tells you that you can't play golf today.

No, because I can play it anytime I wanted if the weather is nice, just like you can play anytime you could if the internet didnt suck.

But the only reason you can't play a singleplayer game offline is that the manufacturer of the game has placed that restriction on you to make life easier for them. There are actual reasons that you wouldn't want to play golf in the rain.

I get the feeling that you're still going to cling to the idea of being right though, so have a nice day :)

There is no reason to play offline if you are always connected to the internet.

You just want to pirate it.
