What are peoples thoughts on games requiring always online? How does it affect your enjoyment of those games?
I'm currently playing Diablo IV (and having a blast with it) but finding one small gripe which I only think is going to get worse and probably stop me playing it completely in the long run.
My girlfriend is currently pregnant. This means in 6 months time we'll have a newborn. With this in mind I'm expecting to only be able to grab a few minutes at a time to game and even when I think I'll have longer I may end up jumping off at short notice. This means I'll almost certainly come to rely on games which I can pause. Unfortunately this isn't possible with Diablo IV since it requires an always online connection even though I'm essentially playing it as a single player game.
What are other people's thoughts?

I would hope that in case of D3 they would patch offline mode to it and after that shut down the servers.
If they do that then I'll consider getting the game. But I wouldn't hold by breath. If they're wanting to shut down the server then they're probably not going to want to keep hosting a server for the patch either.
There is so many MUCH better offline alternatives :D I do own diablo 3 but haven't played in years. Not interested in d4, currently playing Grim Dawn.
