We have always said the way to play the game is online - indeed it says so in the quote of me being circulated. The choice was develop the game in the way we wanted, or not. Trying to make it offline would have made both experiences worse than we were willing to tolerate. We had to make the decision and have done so. I would say that an offline rewrite of the game is unlikely for the future.

No offense Michael, but no, you and David and others at FD have not always said the game would be online only. See link below:

I'm not criticizing FD's design decisions, I'm criticizing FD's deception to it's customers. This issue has not been handled well at all, and it's honestly troubling to me as a possible customer.
