the fact that your home network setup for this relies on an internet connection is baffling

Games that require persistent internet are baffling to me... I mean the hitman games cannot store your mission achievements offline...

But games are games... if my stove and fridge and showers (fucking showers with wifi?) Need internet connectivity then that is bullshit. They are being too fucking optimistic about everything.

Games like that are also baffling to me, thankfully I've not purchased one but I would return it as soon as I discovered the limitation if that were to happen

I bought just the hitman game because I am a completionist and I just want that one. I don't care for many other games.
