I find it interesting that online streaming music services haven't had a similar backlash. You need to be online to access your music collection (unless you download them for later listening). If your internet connection goes down, you can't access all the music you pay for. Interestingly enough this has prevented me from subscribing to these services, as I prefer to have all my music accessible regardless of online/internet availability.
The xbox one is hardly the first "always online" service and it definitely won't be the last. I think this is the future.
