Re: Games as service

You could still have an offline campaign to play. It could also be possible to let the user modify things and then upload to the server. For example you could work on customizing parts of the game offline, e.g the character. Look at Neverwinter Nights. It is an offline game but you can also play it online on player run servers. Some servers even allow your offline character to be used online, others use "server vaults" only for characters.

So what I suggested is a bit of the opposit. An online game, that you also can play offline. You could download the character from the server to offline mode, however you wouldn't be able to upload everything to the server. Mainly customizations.
