I suggest we also feature a way for local solo games to work locally without a remote server.

I hear it's possible... : )

You'd think the next logical step would be to make any online multiplayer game playable locally, not the other way around...
My first thought exactly. Then I realized we actually have ever fewer solo games locally now...

The complain I hear most is that newer games don't even have a local multiplayer mode (we used to complain it didn't have online maybe 10 years ago...)

Besides I'm pretty sure you can fake 'local' using a point-to-point tunnel of sorts — it's just an IP, right? — whereas good luck to workaround online servers.
