Almost every game on Steam allows you to go offline after you've downloaded and installed it. GoG games are DRM-free so unless they are a multiplayer game, they don't require a constant internet connection. Even games on the PS4 (can't vouch for other consoles since it's the most recent-gen one I own) can be taken offline but you'll just miss out on some features. RDR2 and other Rockstar games really don't like it when you go offline, but you can still go offline and play the single player aspects of the game. Hell, even early access survival games like 7 Days to Die can be taken offline if you play by yourself.
I'm curious what games you're referring to because the only ones I can think of that require a constant connection are multiplayer games or games owned by a company who hates their customers.
Diablo 3 is an online multiplayer game. Just like my example of Final Fantasy 14. Yes, there are tons of single player only games that can be taken offline. I apologize in my assumption that it was obvious that I was referencing multiplayer games. And there are client hosted multiplayer games that can be played offline as nothing is run off a server. But these style games are thankfully slowly going away because anything client hosted tends to be very easy to cheat in, which makes the game far less fun when you have people shooting through walls or duping items. And if the Host leaves the game, the game exits for everybody. And if their internet sucks, it sucks for everybody.
I just fail to see the issue some people have with not being able to take a server hosted multiplayer only game offline.
