Well, you can play "offline with bots", but, unless something has changed since last I checked, it'll be always online, which means that even if you want to play offline you need a constant connection to their servers anyway.

Almost feels like they're going out of their way to see how many features that harm users they can add and still be able to sell well...

As far as I know, Bank will continue to work for now, but the Pokémon company have urged people to transfer their pokémon to Home asap.

For me the issue was much worse than drift. One of my joy-cons, that were not really used all that much so the "abusing your controllers" would just be false, just decided that it didn't want to work on the Y axis any more, and the quick fix was the add some credit card thick cardboard behind the joystick box. The controllers were just really badly made in the first place.

I was talking about Payday 3, probably should've made that more obvious. PDTH and PD2 both work completely offline as far as I'm aware.
