XNA Community Games = Online Only?


As you already know, XNA Community Games went live with NXE on November 19th. There were only a handful of games in the beginning, but now there are almost 60 games on XBLM. You may also already know that these games are priced between 200MS and 800MS points, but you may not know that these games can only be played while connected to Live. Apparently community games can only be launched from XBL and that may screw a lot of gamers. If you have a router with only one ethernet slot then you obviously only play online when not "surfing the web". This poses a problem for those of us who do a majority of our gaming offline and hopefully some kind of fix will happen soon, but I won't be holding my breath.
