If it's a networked game, but there's no reason a offline game shouldn't work other than incompetence.

Also since the NFT is the DRM the game could be available for download outside of the publishers purview, such as a public torrent site.

But if the game has to call home every time it starts and there is no server your game won't work. StarCraft can be played offline, as it was created, but you need to connect to play because Blizzard.

You don't need to, you can play offline. You just need to call home every 30 days to keep the remastered graphics since the base game is free to play now

Every 30 days but you have to call home or have a degraded experience.

Yeah, but at least it's not always online
