I really don't understand why people complain a lot about MS policy on XBOX ONE. Will it really change our gaming life?

I really don't know anyone around me doesn't connect to PSN or XBLIVE when they play games. Now, I think the majority people use WIFI connection. It means when the console is switched on, it will be automatically connected to internet. So why can't you connect to internet only once per 24hrs?

Thats in your life. In your world. I used to work for Direct Tv. Ive been to alot of neighborhoods that didnt have any internet access.  Yes in 2011 when i worked there. Ive been to alot of neighborhoods that had no internet access.. Low income neighborhoods. alot of neighborhoods in the county and country. on the East coast. Yes this changes alot. Those people already cant get a xbox. But who am i.. just a guy who wishes console gaming was kept simple i shouldnt have to worry about extra nonsense

Sadly, not everyone see it that way. And it's just not about that, some people have beliefs. Some don't use internet at all because of privacy issues. A lot of people use it but don't use things like FB or twitter because of privacy. In fact, I have known of a few people that will NEVER use the internet because once your information is there, you can never delete it completely. You can try, but something will always be there. A former college proffessor shared this with us to let us know the reason we can't e-mail her IIRC.

That's what I know from the few people I know in the U.S. and in Mexico. Now, how many others think like that? I'm sure my former proffesor and friends I know are not alone.

In my case, altough I have good connection, I play offline games(reason my profile cards are very old, not updated) because I mostly like single player games with great story and stuff like that. Sometimes I play split-screen with friends and family. That's not going to be possible anymore if I get an X1 which if continues that way, obviously I'm not interested.
