Those free-to-play live service games are online only, and that makes sense. When you buy a video game nowadays, you're mostly paying for the PvE experiences rather than the multiplayer. Because you could play multiplayer for free in several other games.

Plus, multiplayer will ultimately die in every game. PvE is the section that lasts forever. COD: World at War multiplayer is dead, but I love playing the campaign and zombies from time to time.
