I think he means if they turn off all the servers , so there is nowhere for the console to "call home" to. So you will be unable to play at all.

Hopefully they will just patch the console to enable offline play before this happens, but I guess you don't know for sure.

Why bother spending money to pay a developer to patch it for offline play? They already have your money.

Long term goodwill I suppose.
