You don’t get to dictate what the rest of us do.

No one is trying to dictate what you do. I’m making you aware that your choices impact everyone else and expressing my dismay that you and other purchasers don’t seem concerned about the direction of this industry.

I’m not sure I understand why you consider online-only “anti-consumer.”

I mean it’s very simple. It benefits the corporation. It has zero benefit to the consumer, and several drawbacks, including the inability to play anytime there’s not an active internet connection (mobile), and the inability to play when the developer inevitably goes out of business or their servers go down, whether temporarily or permanently.

It’s just the direction this series has taken.

I don’t know what this means. It’s not “just a direction”, it’s an explicitly anti-consumer direction.

I don’t have a graphics card on my PC good enough to support VR, does that mean Half Life Alyx is “anti-consumer” for being VR only?

Uhhhh no? Why would it be?

But to Blizzard, the benefits in terms of design freedom, baked-in multiplayer zones, and anti-cheating capabilities outweigh that loss.

None of these have anything to do with requiring a server ping for single player modes.
