EA has already repeatedly demonstrated their willingness to shut down servers. Why expect they'd keep them up longer if they also serviced single player games?

C&C4 will be a good test for the future. It required a constant connection despite having a singleplayer campaign and the game bombed terribly. I am sure they will want to shut it down not too long from now, and whether they release an offline patch for singleplayer or not will have a big impact on my support for them in the future.
