remember the good ole days when we could play multiplayer on LAN without an internet connection? 
Yes, but customers are "bad people" we can't trust them with open LAN multiplayer capabilities, besides how would we peddle our virtual non existant wares? The cash cow money engine wouldn't run. Also they might "steal" said wares that were part of the game to start with. /sarc off
The days of putting out a good and functional product being key to business success are over now its just "give them a taste and keep em hooked" as we fix it on the back end.
