We've all been there right? You paid for a game, it required an active internet connection

Yes I've been there. I immediately refunded the game and then downloaded a pirated copy that worked offline.

Not all games allow for that unless there's a private server developed for it. The idea is to require companies to provide those tools once the game is taken down.

I understand what "the idea is". The only way to make that happen is to get people to stop buying them. And I think it's abundantly clear at this point that that is not going to happen.

So yes, piracy is and will be your only recourse.
