The simple answer: No. The game and city are designed to be a living, breathing massively multiplayer skateboarding sandbox that is always online and always evolving. You’ll see bigger things evolve, like changes to the city over time, as well as smaller things, like live events and other in-game activities. In order to deliver on our vision of a skateboarding world, the game will always require a live connection.
But they’re trying apparently.
Yeah but that’s like calling diablo 4 a mmo, which it is not.
And when they decide to shut it down, there’s no reason that the most recently downloaded map can’t just be played as-is.
If it’s a free-to-play game though I have less of a problem with this. But I still have a problem with it.
