At the start of the XB1 generation, they announced an "always online" requirement for every game, all the time. It was such a disaster, they walked it back before the console even launched, but the damage was done.
Hybrid local/online games becoming the norm rather than a genre (MMO) means the same thing. No local play = no ownership of your library. It works as part of a subscription, but anybody paying $70+ for that is throwing their money away.
Edited to clean up some typos.
