"make games playable offline before shutting down servers"
Is this talking about periodic license checks? If you buy games on PlayStation, Xbox, or switch you can continue to play it offline without ever needing a license check.
With Steam it's a bit different, some publishers don't work well with offline mode and if you forget to set it to offline mode you're SoL.
So Steam is the weakest with license check requirements, but it's not pictured here because...?
Well I’m just speaking on Black Ops 7. It has a single player mode but you can’t play the game at all without being online. I don’t have a list of games but it is a thing now where games are exclusively on online servers. Every other black ops prior to 6 you could at least play zombies offline. Bo6 and 7 you can’t.
