Some recent games take it to the extreme so that you cannot play them without being online 100%. The data is simply not stored on your computer anymore, but on their servers.
I tray explain me better:These is an example of what I think
I made a new Dune preset and I'm very proud of it,or I'm too generous
so I want share with other Dune users,in normal way I made a zip file with preset/bank,then I'm going online I upload somewhere,then going to various forums and I say:hallo these is my preset free for you etc.
Or,when I save the preset a simple dialog ask to me: would you like share these preset ? if I say yes the preset is available to all users,when other users search for a new online preset they can just download without live the instrument,after you have the preset phisically on your computer,so you can use offline too.
The drawback of these function is about commercial preset,but these is about people honesty,I think
Cheers
