Following speculation that the next generation PlayStation would require an always-on internet connection - as an increasing number of PC games do - a senior PlayStation executive said this wouldn't be the general rule for PS4 games.

This didnt even cross my mind till now!

Eurogamer have a nice question, but the answer from Shuhei Yoshida was very vague. But I honestly don't see why people wouldn't be signed into PSN. It's very boring being one of those people who never sign in lol.
