Still, without online connectivity, developers wouldn't be able to push out holiday-specific updates like Grand Theft Auto Online's Festive Surprise or Battlefield 4's holiday Easter eggs. Now, gamers get products like Assassin's Creed Unity and Battlefield 4 and if the games don't work at launch it's no problem because they'll just get patched later – after everyone's already handed over their hard-earned cash. In the old days, titles were finished before they were released.
Without an online connection, developers would have a much harder time implementing microtransactions or DLC. For every positive innovation, like online multiplayer and Twitch streaming, there's a darker side. As time crawls on, games become more and more reliant on the Internet.
