I believe this is not exactly bug, but something made on purpose by Funcom.
I bought Conan Exiles just because it allowed to play offline, but after this mandatory update (Age of Sorcery) I can’t play without internet connection anymore. That is, my purchase was based on a lie by funcom.
HOW CAN I GET MY MONEY BACK SINCE I WAS SCAMMED BY YOU?
I don’t play online and I’m not the kind of buyer you want, the one who gets his money sucked up by leeches.
