If you generalize enough, everything is a ticking time bomb. Some may have a low amount ticks left (lifespan or a hamster) and some quite big (lifespan of the Sun).

A promise they have never honored. This was made blatantly clear when the steamdeck came out.
Only some games can run in offline mode.

Got any specific names?
Almost every of the 1000 games in my steam account. Almost every game on there has coherent singleplayer mode.
