Single player games still exist. Games that dont require an online connection still existYou need Gold just to view YouTube videos, so how is this surprising?

what features aren't behind the paywall?
And since when you can't use the internet without Gold? You can download demos, games, videos without Gold, so it's not like Requires Internet = Gold feature.
The Xbox One is built from the ground up intended to be used with Xbox Live. Do people really plan on buying this thing without using LIVE? This is a non issue
This. A lot of people make walkthrough vids, hopefully Sony is smart enough to realize those Youtube vids are a form of advertising.Why should Gold be necessary if I'm recording a single player game and uploading it online? Really?
It seems everyone is assuming people will only record multiplayer gameplay footage....
and you'll still need gold also to watch netflix

Of course it will. These things are server-intensive...
No surprise there.
Customers need XBL Gold to view Youtube.
Gold needed for game recording and sharing features? Of course!
Why is this a big deal again? Who the fuck would buy an XB1 without gold, or a PS4 without PS+ anyways? These are next-gen consoles selling at a premium. If you can't afford 40-50$ per year, you should maybe reconsider buying these consoles in the first place and put your money elsewhere.
So I guess it's been confirmed they are also keeping free media apps behind a paywall for a second time and not changing that aspect at all?
If so, wow.
REALLY NOW

I can't believe people are still doing the "well Microsoft is doing it so of course Sony will too" thing.
I don't believe that shit for a second. They aren't that stupid, right?
They should be lowering the barrier if they want this thing to succeed as a media-box. Not add paywalls.

With Sony's stance on what's behind the PS+ wall (only multiplayer in pay titles), you would think MS would be scaling back what they're requiring Gold for, not stacking even more things on top.
Yeah, but who made more money?
Just microsoft being cunts. Nothing new here.
Are you saying that you feel the thread shouldn't have been made, since we should have known this was going to happen?
I never payed for online multiplayer in my life on any platform and have uploaded game footage.This isn't a surprise at all.
When you look at the people who record gameplay footage....do you see them NOT being Gold members? I highly doubt anyone who is Silver has any intentions on recording footage and uploading it.

Me. I enjoy single player games, so why should I pay for a service I have no use for?Why is this a big deal again? Who the fuck would buy an XB1 without gold, or a PS4 without PS+ anyways?

Does MS actually host these videos themselves?
Or is it YT/FB upload like on PS4?
Anyone know?
Sony shouldn't charge for that, at least as far as we know how Share works.
Microsoft's word on DVR is that the videos are stored in his cloud.
With PS4 if you stream you use Ustream servers, if you share you use Facebook/Youtube servers.
They shouldn't charge.
