For The Crew especially, an offline version would’ve been easily doable, as in, most online feature of The Crew feel optional to begin with. To just drive around the map or race against AI, no online features are required.
Unless you’ve been actively involved in the online part of The Crew’s development, you can’t say whether separating the game from its online infrastructure would be easy or not.
Without an in-depth technical knowledge of how this game, specifically, depends on servers, your comment is nothing more than hazardous assumptions as well as an expression of your lack of knowledge.Read my statement again:

I never claimed that it was easy in a technical sense, just in a mechanical sense. But to double down on my point, if Ivory Tower had created The Crew with the possibility of ripping out the online mode entirely in mind, then the structure and the mechanics of the game would’ve made it very easy to do so.
