Why do I have to be on the internet to be on Steam's offline mode?
HellHound:
Why is this, can anybody explain why I need an internet connection to play in offline mode on steam? This seems incredibly redundant.
A million souls:
You dont you need the computer to remember your details and wait for steam to realise it can't connect to the internet and hit the (Run Steam in Offline Mode).
Dexxtter:
Its pretty stupid.
ChexGuy331:
Offline mode used to work offline. No idea what happened in the past year.
Fredulus:
because steam has DRM
it needs to know you actually own the games, and didn't just get a friend to login to his account and DL them for you, then go into offline mode
