The developers behind the sequel to legendary videogame Elite have, to the anger and dismay of fans, announced they've dropped the promised offline singleplayer mode. The game is due to be released in under a month. With the title having raised about $1.5 million from Kickstarter, and millions more in subsequent campaigns that advertised the feature, many of those following the project are livid. A complaints thread on the official Elite forums has swelled to over 450 pages in merely three days, with backers demanding refunds. It is down to the discretion of Frontier, the game's developer, whether to process refund requests of original backers.

Can someone point me to where they say the game would be available offline at all? Seems like they were pretty upfront that this was a multiplayer focused game. It is kind of douchey and DRMesque to require an internet connection for a game that you say doesn't have DRM, but that's about it for what I can find.
