Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?

I know I’m coming from a position of privilege because I was playing it on a 5950X with 64 gigs of RAM and a 3090, but even so, like it barely even broke a sweat.

Many games that have multiplayer and singleplayer options run singleplayer by hosting a server and then joining it.

And then you’ve got the new Battlefield 6 which requires you to wait your turn to connect to their remote server so you can pay the Singleplayer campaign.
