    You have to login once while connected to the internet I think. Then you can unhook it from the net and play offline.

    When you buy the game you have the option to play it on a browser or download an executable. The first time you start the exe it downloads the assets(very quick) from that point you can play offline as much as you want.

    You would also have to copy over the files that are downloaded after running it the first time. Otherwise it will have to download them again, but you won't be able to.
