Ditto. I don’t understand why someone is buying a modern game console when they don’t have a functioning internet connection.
This change didn’t happen overnight, and we have been through MANY generations of consoles that did not require an internet connection. I am sorry, but at some point consoles have to progress. If we listened to people complaining about change, we would still have coaxial video inputs, cartridge based games, and single purpose game consoles.
