You can't buy digital items from them if you are offline, now can you?

But I'll usually be online even if I have the option to be offline. It just means that I know the game will continue to work even if they're not running a server somewhere. The dominant use case is still going to be going online to see their new goofy costumes that I can buy, because it's easier than setting up a private server, and because that's where everyone else is.
