Video games and bandwidth

[Otter]

Does your console allow you to play the games while not connected to the internet? If so a pretty easy solution would be to simply disconnect. That's my biggest gripe with Steam. You're unable to play standalone games like Bioshocke or Dead Space or whatever unless you are connected to the internet.

WTF?

Actually you can play steam games offline, as long as they are downloaded. I go through this with my friend all the time. He refuses to go online to play and won't play a game unless it's single player. I used to be that guy, but just no way to avoid it now. I DO blame the shit ISP's that limit bandwith..**** At&T, **** comcast and anyone else that limits bandwith. SHitty ass piece of shit companies if u ask me.
