but how will they push ads and build a profile on you if the game doesn't have always online requirement ?

I wish people were smart, this way companies would stop maling stupid and greedy decisions, because at the end of the day, THE CONSUMERS have power over THE COMPANIES

not sure I agree with this, I think government intervention is the best approach here — the law we need is basically exactly the EU cookie law but for online services: any server or account that is genuinely required to make the game work is allowed without change but ones that exist purely to track or police users must be strictly optional and users can't be penalised for opting out. The penalty can be the same: 4% of gross income. The EU passing that law seems to me way more realistic than expecting consumers to boycott basically the entire AAA games industry when that industry has been basically evil for years now and hasn't been boycotted out of that yet.

it would be nice to see a similar petition where the ask it to have a publication of the server side software as open source or even source available so communities car run their own servers or even on localhost
