If your game requires a server for single player content, I ain't buying it.

I'm not paying full price and getting a rental.

It shouldn't require a server that I can't control for multiplayer either.

V rising kind of does this but a single player game is just called a server it's on your local machine though.

Only exception to this is if I can run the server myself. Even multiplayer games I feel somewhat cautious about now.
