There I see a review of the game here it is:
"Egosoft account, registration of game’s key (as an equivalent for linking of Steam account) and internet connection are REQUIRED for access to several core-features.
Since patch 1.5 “ventures” are added. While they presented as completely optional “pseudo-multiplayer” activities, they are the only way to get certain in-game items/gameplay options without the use of cheats and/or exploits.
They are also the only reliable way for crew leveling, which is extremely slow without this “optional content” (more than week of non-stop gameplay is not enough to level-up NPC to “5-stars”, and there are dozens or even hundreds of NPCs in player’s fleet). Combined with introduction of “EgoCredits” it leads to concerns about microtransactions for “time savers”.
Those activities were coded in game before (they were discovered in game files at the first day and achievement for them was on steam from the beginning), but were added only 3 weeks later. Presumably to circumvent “no DRM, single-player game” limitations."
Is this ACCURATE information? That an account is REQUIRED like is mentioned above and an Internet Connection for access to anything?
