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. 

Still missing the point that ps now is optional. MS plans for everything to be drm mandatory.

lol that is much misconception and biased opinion for a so small sentence.

You know cloud feature != drm. you will still be able to buy sell used games.
Cloud feature does not mean that the game will be online only (look at forza 5).
And stop acting like you know everything that Microsoft as planned. The only result you'll get is your opinion being discredited

Because in the future if you need to play any game you will need to be online even if your playing alone just for the cloud computing is just an excuse. Always online is the same as always drm. To ply with parity with the ps4 you will need the cloud there for you will need xbox live. 

I like how you mention forza like an old game has any relevance in a conversation about the fuure of gaming. Why didnt you mentioned titanfall then. With all their brag about cloud and the AI and the graphics where crap.

And you know why i pretend like I know? Because everybody knows, at least anybone who saw last years E3 and the x1 reveal where they said it to everybody that it was exactly their plan. Even if they whent 180 on all thouse policies they still have claimed that thouse ideas are not dead. Like it was said before not by me, it will start with cloud power so it has the same power as the ps4 and then you will not be able to play any game offline so the only choise in playing will be online or get a ps4 and acording to the reaction from last year guess wich will be the popular option.
