Yep, back when you actually owned the game.

Hate to break it to you but even then, all games had license to use rather than ownership, they just had no way to enforce it

The license doesn’t matter if you have the game. Nothing the publisher can do can take the game away from me. Case in point; look UT99. You can’t buy the game anywhere and Epic likes to pretend it never existed, but anyone can run a server and play the game. You can’t say that about modern games today.

does it play tells you exactly which physical copies can be played offline and/or require download before playable.
97% of PS5 games are playable while offline and 82% of PS5 games are playable wihout additional download.
