Thought we were talking about the game-sharing feature, not the cloud. Ah, well. What do you think of the 24-hour check? I think we should be able to play offline indefinitely for a variety of reasons (having a bad connection and serving in the military are the main ones). As far as I know, restricting used games and letting the publishers decide would not only violate consumer rights but the first sale doctrine (in the US) as well.

If I'm misinformed or mistaken, let me know.
