Xbox One's 'always online' doesn't mean you need a persistent internet connection 24/7 to play online. All you need to do is log in once every 24 hours to the X1 servers, so the game can check to make sure your copy of the game is real and not pirated.

Some people get so butthurt over anti-piracy tactics, lawl
I don't think it's so much butthurt at anti-piracy policies. If I buy a game and I want to sell it, give it to a friend or trade it in for something different, where is the piracy in that? Piracy is downloading something that you never paid for. It is not purchasing something that then that company telling you how, when and where it can and can't be used.

In short, M$ is telling Xbox One owners, you can go out and buy the game and then install it to your system, but you still don't own it. You can only play it on your system based off of their servers. What happens if their servers go down, or they stop supporting the Xbox Box, just like Steam, there goes all your games. You just have a bunch of disks that are paperweights and no way to play them.

My issue with their practices is this...

-Have to log in on internet once a day... and why that isn't a big deal to you. People have to realize not everyone has a stable internet connection. Not everyone has internet in their home. Not every country has reliable internet around their homes.

-Must have an internet connection, even for single player games. Why should people have to have a connection if they have no need to use it?

-Traveling somewhere, Grandma's house? Aunt's house? Staying in a hotel at the beach for a week? Don't know if there will be a net connection? Don't even bother packing it up and bringing it to play with, if you can't be 100% positive there is net or you will be able to connect, it's a lost cause.

-Going to a family or friends house and you wanna play your library over there since they have an Xbox One there as well? Go for it!!! But you can only play for 1 hour at a time... so don't get too into your game or you'll get cut off.

-What happens if you do loose power/net connection due to storms, power being worked on etc... you get totally locked out of your video game library and you cannot get back in until you have signed back in and they have run a check on your whole library. You are LOCKED out of the games YOU paid for on YOUR account. Doesn't matter if it's single player, multi-player or online. You cannot play at all.

-Oh but, fyi you can still access your dvd player, tv and movies if you have no net connection. Show's were their priorities lie, and it's not with the gamers.

So you can call it butthurt over anti-piracy... which makes no sense, because as I stated... buying a game and having rights to how you want to use it or get rid of it has nothing to do with piracy.

I call it an epic fail, a waste of gamers time and money, and them not caring about the ones who made their system what it was.
