Re: You tell me,
Sounds like a sound judgement of development effort required by a guy who knows his product inside and out to me.
Was it a shitty call to make? Sure, a lot of people will be disappointed by it. But I'd rather this than have FD try to half-arse the development of the offline feature. Better to not have it at all than to have something that proves clunky, difficult to maintain, and inevitably (probably) a bigger PR nightmare than the abandonement of the offline feature itself.
Keep doing what youre doing Frontier. The game is coming along just fine.
