Single player games are still around, I know. But, you can't deny that everything is going towards the online capabilities for games. It's just the way it is now. The single player is becoming an after thought to the MP portions of games. I think that is BS because I still enjoy the SP of most games I play.
I do agree though if I were just an offline gamer the XBO would be a no go for me as well. I can understand not wanting to pay for a service that I won't use to get a service that I want.

I haven't had an XBox for quite some time so it's entirely possible that M$ is doing that now. When I was a (brief) Gold member, the only real value I got was being able to get some demos/digital games early.
Beyond that though, I ultimately want a console to play games. The main reason I won't be getting the XBO is because Microsoft wants it to be more than just a gaming console. They want to get their fingers in everything I do in my living room when it comes to entertainment. Today, the paywall is for Netflix. Tomorrow, it's going to be something else.
