I hope this has an offline version otherwise Kojima is dead for me. No reason to not have a single-player offline version. I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese offline gaming culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being online. If you screw someone over offline in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase Kojima's cloud game for Xbox neither on PC, nor will they purchase any of Kojima's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Kojima has alienated an entire market with this move.
Kojima, publicly apologize and cancel your partnership with Xbox or you can kiss your business goodbye.
