Recently there was a bit of a kerfuffle when micro-transactions were revealed for Shadow Of War. Along with that, word started spreading that the game will also require you to be always connected to the internet. As it turns out, neither of those things are as bad as they sound. The microtransactions are mostly cosmetic and not predatory. It still sucks to have micro-transactions in a full price game, but it’s nowhere near as bad as it initially seemed to be.
Also, the Community Manager for the game has clarified that, as of now, you can play the game offline:
The way he puts it, it sounds like the always-online part is not entirely off the table , and might as well be a part of the final release. We just really hope that it won’t be the case, specially in India where internet connections can be pretty spotty.
