“To be fair, with the servers shutdown, the game would have been impossible to play anyways. This isn’t simply because it’s an online-only game. In fact, Order of War: Challenge has 18 single-player missions as well. But due to always-online DRM, even the single-player portion of the game requires the servers to be up and running.”

I guess it's the Always-On DRM that's the issue. Best get rid of that entirely, or force developers to disclose IN LARGE PRINT if a game has it, like they did with parental warning stickers in the late 1980's. And I mean FORCE, as in "you can't be on Steam/whatever because you have unnecessary DRM"
I can still play World Of Goo any time I damn well choose because I paid for it and I own it and the developers were probably not inherently evil humans.
