Microsoft studios creatie director defends always online xbox 720

Quote :

Rumors of what Microsoft’s next-generation console will look, sound and play like have been swirling for months now, but the possible feature that’s elicited the most discussion has been its always-online nature. The gaming community has been clearly upset over the yet-to-be-seen future of the Xbox, and Microsoft Studios’ Creative Director Adam Orth has heard just about enough of it all.
The recent hubbub from Kotaku about how players will need an internet connection just to start up a game sparked outrage. Discussion on whether or not moving to this style of connectivity would be viable found its way to Twitter, which led to Orth voicing his own opinions. A member of NeoGaf found the best ones.






For something that’s not yet confirmed, it’s strange to see a Microsoft employee defending the concept. Once again, we won’t know if any of these rumors are true until the Durango is shown, but things are really starting to heat up for this unannounced console.
What do you think about Orth’s comments? Should he have taken to Twitter? Let us know what you think by leaving a comment below!

Seriously? These are like the worst analogies you could ever make. I swear to god hope that this is some stupid joke or else this pretty much confirms always online.

I think MS are just trolling you guys. No way they're this fucking dumb. No. Fucking. Way.

Watch the whole video. Trust me.

Maybe he should stop playing games and whining and do some fucking exercise

wht a sassy bitch, give me 5 minutes alone with him and he will be crying and changing his tunes

You'd think Microsoft would of told him to shut the fuck up.

Microsoft's response to Adam Orth's comments

Quote :

Microsoft has responded to the tweets, via its PR firm, with the following statement given to GI International:

“We are aware of the comments made by an employee on Twitter. This person is not a spokesperson for Microsoft, and his personal views are not reflective of those of the company. We have not made any announcements about our product roadmap, and have no further comment on this matter.”

A reveal of Microsoft’ new console is expected soon. Rumours of its always-on Internet requirement have cropped up at least three times.

According to a user on Reddit he used to work with Adam Orth at Fox Interactive, said that he'd only answer to the name "Sweet Billy" and if you called him otherwise, he'd basically ignore you or be a total prick.

Someone then did a bit of detective work on NeoGaf and found out Adam Orth had an account of said website under the name "sweet billy". He sounds like a fucking mong. I'd seriously consider not buying a NextBox just out of spite. But if Edge, VGLeaks etc rumours are true, which they usually are, I won't be buying one regardless.

This is now the official Adam Orth bashing thread.
