Heck, it is better than things are now with Sony dropping it:

According to Dan Race, Senior Director, Corporate Communications for Sony, Tretton’s statements were referring specifically to playing used games online. He told me, The Online Pass program for PlayStation first-party games will not continue on PlayStation 4. Similar to PS3, we will not dictate the online used game strategy (the ability to play used games online) of its publishing partners. As announced last night, PS4 will not have any gating restrictions for used disc-based games. When a gamer buys a PS4 disc they have right to use that copy of the game, so they can trade-in the game at retail, sell it to another person, lend it to a friend, or keep it forever.

How much is it left up to the publisher? Can they pull a SimCity and force you to play your single player game "online" because a large number of game calculations are performed in the cloud? I have a feeling there are going to be plenty of people upset in the future when this very thing happens.
