Just saw an ad for an upcoming KS game with the tagline "Try the Tutorial!" As a 15 year veteran of the video game industry, I can safely tell you that there is no better way to turn off gamers than those three words.
Absolutely. At the time I was working in mobile games, where they also started forcing players to be online at all times. That was more turbulent because of the different signal strengths and plans everywhere but they didn't have a focused place to complain about it.

I think data used to be MUCH more expensive. Now, it's much more affordable, even in the developing world, and you sorta need server-authoritative solutions to prevent HAX. It's FASCINATING how quickly things change.

I only had an iPod Touch so I kept asking to allow players to play offline, possibly with an option to sync when online. Their answer was just "They can't buy in-apps when they're not online so who cares".
