@cthos@mastodon.cthos.dev to be fair, I suppose we're not usually rewarded with literal shinies for being tracked. Usually we're 'rewarded' with "more fucking advertising".

But joking aside, I do wonder if that's also another reason (besides copy protection) that 'always-online' mechanisms exists even in single player games. If you were the sort, you could absolutely always the game in offline mode on Steam and never load it up while Steam is offline. Your save games would still back up, if you use the steam cloud, but the achievements would never trigger.

(it's probably more of a happy coincidental side effect rather than a reason but)
