Why couldn’t they? Console games have had mandatory patches for years and years.

Just because it’s on the disc doesn’t mean the binary has to load it.

I was thinking of the PS2, but you're right, modern consoles have patches.

As for mandatory patches: you would at least have the option to play single-player offline without updating.
