This isn’t a revolutionary concept, this is how PC gaming has been for 40 years. Even Steam allows me to play games in offline mode. I remember when they started adding a online security checks for games such as Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, but that was only during startup to make sure you actually owned the game, but the constant online connection seems completely unnecessary. I’m hoping I can re-watch the cutscene when I get back into the game. I got as far as the hermit cutscene after the first village and the Internet connection dropped right during the cutscene. I am able to play, but my Internet connection keeps dropping and I get kicked from the game. I’m guessing that is when a lot of changes to the franchise were made. I only played Diablo III for a few hours. The original Diablo I played offline exclusively from beginning to end. I remember they added multiplayer via LAN back in Diablo II, but I only played it that way once. I’ve always considered Diablo to be a single player RPG. I have a nice gaming laptop I use when I travel, so I haven’t had problems playing other game such as Crusader Kings III or Hogwarts Legacy (on high), so I didn’t anticipate having a problem running Diablo IV. How can I play offline Offline mode is available in Starcraft: Remastered, StarCraft II, Diablo 2: Resurrected, and Warcraft III: Reforged.

No, I didn’t read the requirements before purchased it.
