Ohoooo
it seems that the European Commission is looking into the case of virtual currencies and the consumption of video games over time. Laws will come for games and this filth of mandatory connection will soon disappear so yes you will be the owner of your games and you will be able to play them offline, Turn 10 and Sony for Gran Turismo will be forced to comply.
Ubisoft with the crew already complies with it in advance.
It’s a victory against the game studios that do anything and everything.

I know about the BEUC complaint towards virtual currencies, but what’s your source on the always online angle?
Pure speculation or fake news
So Ubisoft is afraid of “fake news”? a google search and you find the articles
Where is the part that it was the EU that made them put in an offline patch?
So does that mean that buying is owning again?
If this is actually Happening then howdy doodle, what a time to be alive
Thank you, Ross Scott
If you know him, give yourself a cookie
this is good news. the next stage is to ban the invasive kernel-level anti cheat rootkits
Do you have a link for the article?
No, you’ll have a licensed copy just like in them olden days when I were lad when you had to always have the CD in the drive to play the game after the bygone, halcyon days of merely installing the game. There will still be a EULA.
No doubt gaming companies will devise some new means to vex and annoy players that complies with EC regulations such as pay-walling all games behind subscriptions and dedicated apps which are part of the service in general, not specific to any particular game, thus evading the rules about the game itself. You won’t have to be online to play the game, but you will have to be fully paid-up to play your copy of it because it’ll check to make sure. And, therefore, you’ll still need to be online.
A little cynical speculation.
…and all of this has nothing at all to do with FH5.
imagine being stuck with an offline release copy of FH5 - or any game for that matter
