    Another victory lap for patient gamers.

    There is a lifetime of content to consume without taking video games or the internet into account. You are optional.

      I just started BioShock Infinite. I am only a few years behind.

      But if you were impatient and played it on release you could have played it without requiring a PSN account.

        And now they would need to fight for a refund, only some people got it, others are on their 5th try.

      Patient gaming is great for single player games. Not so much for live service.

        You say that, but it clearly worked here. And, for live service games in general, playing The Waiting Game™ lets you see how bullshit said live service ends up becoming after a awhile.

      I was waiting until some sort of offline mode since I’ve been burned by The Crew, I don’t think it’s happening considering how anal they are being about a PSN account.
