What’s modern gaming convention that should no longer be practiced?

As everyone else says, online connection.

And it's not just EA.

Doom eternal works without internet, sure...

But do I really need to sit and wait for the game to check my internet connection every time I go to the settings?

Crazy.

I had an internet outage a few months ago. I work from home and so I couldn’t work for a few hours and decided to play a game.

Tried Epic Launcher.. it requires internet so I couldn’t even open it. Tried Steam, it works offline! Decided to play a little bit of AC Origins. I boot up the game and it tries to launch the stupid ass Ubisoft launcher, which DOES require internet. Fucking hell.
