No one was complaining. At all. Yet quite the few of you force this 'just get a pc' argument from nowhere. Yes this thing requires an Internet connection when installed. You claiming that your pc doesnt? Nothing here is worse.

People Do complain. Have you not read a single comment under this post? Claiming they don't is just your way to be able to dismiss the argument without addressing the issue. My point is you have no reason to complain when you have alternatives but you don't want to choose them because... because why exactly? I've never heard a single convincing argument to not have a PC when that same person already complains about the very nature of console, that is being a closed system which can force whatever it wants on you. If you have no problem with consoles, I also have no problem with you using one. But don't complain over it doing exactly what it was made for.

And you certainly don't need an internet connection to play a solo game on PC or to install the OS. You need one to download the game, at most.
