So can we finally admit that the "cloud" was PR play now that Xbox doesn't require online?

Whenever a journalist asked "why DRM? Why always online?", MS would reply "we want to do exciting things with the cloud".

So it was a PR show. They used the cloud as an argument for DRM.

But now this illusion fell apart.

you know that it was never always online? how could microsoft respond to that? and the stuff about the cloud and drm was about game sharing, playing your games on any xbox without the need to take the disc with you and stuff like that. all of that not possible anymore.

where did microsoft say that it's necessary to enhance the games which only need a 24h check except for games like forza where it still works now as long as you connect to the cloud?

I don't know lol
