This issue doesn’t even need to be about the levels of internet availability. Many people like to play single player on an old PC/Laptop so the world remains persistent to alleviate issues like the Meteor Shower needing the player in the area for a certain amount of time in single player. It’s best to run such a LAN connection through it’s own router and Ethernet cables. That requires you to switch the connection on your network card from your Internet network to the Local Area Network of the second router. That means losing that internet connection and access to the Bazaar and Battle Pass items.

What other companies do, whether in gaming or other media, is secondary. The anti-consumerist practices of other companies in defense of the decision here is a topic entirely deserving of it’s own posting. This game was advertised as having LAN support, and losing access to those items is a lack of support for LAN gaming.
