We live in funny times. You have to justify why you don´t have or want internet at home (my favourite assumption so far - only a bit exaggerated: "hey, you don´t have internet. But why should someone care about you, in any case you must be too poor to buy the game). And the most funny thing, playing offline becomes a feature.
10 - 15 years ago, playing online was a feature of games, now after almost every big title has this feature, the game companies invented a new feature to be sold to the customer: "the ability to still play offline"
[/sarcasm]
Now we have only one problem, none of the poor guys without access to the net (but money for civ5) can complain here, so the lack of them in this discussion shouldn´t be that big wonder for everybody. (and without market survey i will make no guess how many they are)
