i can accept that online multiplayer requires an internet connection,.. there is an obvious reason for the need for an online connection and an obvious benefit in certain types of gameplay.

if ms wants to do cloud processing they better be able to communicate a clear reason and obvious benefit.


and lol and those trying to link psnow steaming as an additional method to purchasing games to the idea of cloud processing being integrated into a game's single player mode making an internet connection the only option. if you can see such a massively, significant difference between the destiny dlc vs the dozens of other platform exclusive content coming in the next year surely you can see the difference here...

You should be laughing at the OP. The Cloud and its resources need to have internet access to work. M$es Cloud processing and Sony's Cloud both need internet and DRM to work. Hence why PS Now comes into the subject. If I want to use PS Now Cloud, I need to be connected through DRM. If I want to play an Xbone game with Cloud support, I need to be connected through DRM to work.
