I believe at least part of the argument for "cloud-based" benefits is that some processes can be handled on the cloud side instead of your console. Is this not the same argument EA made for their recent "always-connected" SimCity release? I guess I just like knowing that when I have the game disk in my hand and my console at home, I have everything I need for an awesome experience. No depending on the internet, no depending on if the cloud service is busy or potentially shut down for maintenance, no worrying about if I want to play my game 5 years from now and the company decided to close the servers. Just me, my game, and my warm console. Is that too much to ask?
Wow, that went on for far too long, lol.

I understand where you're coming from, what EA did to SimCity was terrible. I don't think Microsoft will do the same. I probably wouldn't worry about it too much.
