After Microsoft's 180, are cloud functions still viable, or will you be able to play without them?

i still don't really get why people think that this has changed anything with the cloud stuff since you didn't have to be connected before the 180. before it you had to connect every 24 hour to send some kb of data if you wanted to play in this timeframe.

if you connect your console with the interent you will get some extra stuff in some games while playing even if it's singleplayer. if you don't do it you won't getit, with or without 24hours check.


If you had to connect every 24 hours, wouldnt it make more sense to just be connected all the time, instead of having to drag that huge ass console over to your friends house, or whoever might have internet, every 24 hours?

huh?

internet check every 24 hours to send a few kb = you can play a game all the time even if you disconnect for some minutes (that's what happens some people like me from time to time). your console only needs to send a few kb which you could even do with your phone.

internet connection needed all the time = even a small disconnect will disrupt your game session.

and not sure what this has to do with your friends house. if you would have to drag the console to your friend because the console needs a 24 hours check, you could obviously also not play at your home with a connection needed 24/7. and well, with the 24 hours check you could do it with your mobile connection so you wouldn't even need a friend for that if you wouldn't have internet.
