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

1) Because in the future if you need to play any game you will need to be online even if your playing alone 2)just for the cloud computing is just an excuse. Always online is the same as always drm. 3)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. 4)Why didnt you mentioned titanfall then. 5)With all their brag about cloud and the AI and the graphics where crap.

6)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. 7)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.

1) Your right, but that's an inneviteble future for Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo. My guess is that Sony and Microsoft next gen system will maybe not even have disc drive.

2) But then again, cloud feature may not be required for the game, so not every game with cloud feature will require online.

3)  If you think that cloud compute is there to make every Xbox One more powerfull you're looking at it the wrong way. It is there to add new features and possibility to games.

4) Because Titanfall is a multiplayer only title and that has nothing to do with the cloud feature.

5) you're right Ai <> graphics. And no just because graphics are not awesome or better than anything else does not mean they're crap.

6)Last year e3 was about DRM and that is in no way related to cloud feature. Microsoft never said that they wanted to bring back DRM on the Xbox One. 

7) look at number 3. Cloud processing to enhance graphics is only a possibility among tons of other and this one does not even interest me.

But even if in a game required online for single player. because devs wanted to bring innovation, feature, boost in graphics, cool stuff that need cloud processing. why would I not be able to benefit from it? Because someone somewhere want to play the game offline. Activation sure did not bother them when they made Diablo 3 online only why would Microsoft or any other company do for certain specific games. You tring to say Microsoft should not innovate because not everyone in the world would want/be able to use those innovation? Sorry but no one company ever acted this way.

3) Please, I am a nintendo fan I know graphics arent everithing, I was making a point that they said it was going to help the game tremendosly.

6) Yes they have said that they could not explain correctly their plans so they will try to show all the beneficts of the original idea. So the translation is they have not given up on it. The only logical progression i see for the future of the cloud is always online wich means DRM even if you don seem to accept it.

You do remember the extensive hate MS receive when they anounced all this shit last year? You do remember the 180 on all policies? Sorry but MS already acted that way. Because if they dint, X1 would b at 2mil now with only the die hard fans like you. And we know big companys dont care about you or any of us for that matter, only for $$. This includes sony and nintendo.
