Dude I totally get what you're saying, you don't have to sell me. I just think you're wrong that people won't give in the minute a game they're super excited about is released only on Xbox One.

Time will tell which of us is right, I suppose.

I disagree. If publishers want to make online games it's fine. We have the option to buy them or not. We can make a choice. What i don't agree with is creating artificial restrictions to offline games that DON'T need an internet connection.

Just look at the PC. There are millions of MMOs and multiplayer-only games out there. This is not a problem, i can still play my offline games without any restrictions.

And i'm sure offline singleplayer games won't disappear all of a sudden, even if the major publishers decide to make these MMO-ish games.
