Bethesda Softworks - A Note to Our Fans

In regards to Single Player, I think the definition is if you're the only human player for gameplay AI.
Yet they are still following the recent MMO fashion … With MMO = DRM as the subtext
…
If even Bethesda is fpollowing that fashion, I'm convinced now that offline SP games are beginning to die out …
By the way, it's quite a while since they did their last true SP only game … apart from that grey-looking Skyrim …
With the above in mind, the last SP would have been Fallout 4 from Bethesda, and they've already stated that Starfield, Elder Scrolls 6 and the next Fallout would be SP.

If that's true, then the indies will be getting all of my future gaming spending. Right now, over the past two or three years, I'm pretty certain that they've already been getting most of my monies, as the big companies just seem to be producing terrible games that interest me not in the slightest.

You may have taken a lot of journeys, but you took a wrong turn on this one, Homie.

And yes, "some online component" = DRM, too.
So we are slowly trained to accept and love DRM. Oh wait, that already did happen with Steam … The DRM nobody thinks of it's an DRM.
