Lol what a dick.

Between this ****, Sony's Crap, and Nintendo being always behind the curve. So going PC or done with gaming, though given Steam I might just be done soon...but wow in any other profession talking like that would get you fired.

lol this easily tops most of what I've read here.

Apparently he was "trolling" regardless, one thing I hate about the gaming industry is the communication, especially with consumers and how most rumors that float around... tend to be true. All that "trolling" doesn't help Microsoft and their supposed "always online" mindset, so he should be careful. He can easily lose fans over something as small as this and I really hope they pull the "you're the minority" argument when the new Xbox comes out and sells billions, right?!

Most major corporations require employees to adhere to a code of ethics even off the job because you still represent the company. Apparently MS isn't one of them.

I've seen it with a lot of corps in the gaming arena actually.

Sony's Crap? But isn't everyone loving the PS4 right now? The Wii U is struggling that's obvious but the 3DS has been improving. Now Microsoft I'm more worried about. Always Online, no used games, Kinect required and other stupid ideas and the sad thing everyone will probably get the Durango.

I'm not one to say what others should do with their money, but I personally don't think this rumoured console is good for gaming.

Sony did just put out a patent a few months ago for an RF tagging system that would tag a game the first time it is played, so that it can only be played on the first console it is played on. This will kill rental, used and borrowed games just as effectively as the rumored Durango.

Whether Sony acts and actually puts that technology in the PS4 is up for debate, but they do have the technology, which means they have been researching doing the exact same thing.

I was planning on a Day One purchase until I had the sudden urge to get a haircut, which set me short. It's gonna be my next game purchase for sure.

Your signature suggests otherwise.

Here's the source. If true I certainly won't be buying next gen.


yeah used games ..ok I can live with.

but be online 24/7 even for a single player game?

No I cannot do that and agree with it.

I hope if it's true that the console will flop. People cannot support this stupidity. I want to be able to play my single player games offline for years to come like I always have well after the next xbox servers for live go offline.

Good luck with that, Orthy. Lol. Maybe this dude's mindset is indicative of Microsoft in general. Also what a tool. Trolling or no.

No used games and/or always online is a heck no. I don't have a reliable internet connection and it gets really, really bad sometimes. If I want to play a game, I expect to play, not hope it works because internet is running strong or hope freaking servers are working.

That attitude from them along with all of these reports and an impressive PS4 make it pretty easy for me to decide. They can also shove their lame Kinect up their noses.

I ask myself the same thing about people who buy vanity crap in F2P games and yet ther are so many of them. Let's hope that this goes differently, that is if M$ and Sony truly plan to go through with this, otherwise soon companies will "lease" games instead of selling them for all we know. I don't know what is it about corporations lately who seem to want to control their customers for just about any product they buy.

Wow Microsoft, if this nonsense is true you're making my next console purchase really easy.

This guys regard for those  that "can't get with times" is pretty f*cking disgusting. He is actively pursuing a strategy that will segregate gamers into the "haves" and "have not's". Those that can't or wont keep pace with his idea of what gaming is, mean nothing to him. Not everyone is plugged in or constantly connected. Nor should they be, whether if it's by choice or circumstance. I find this exclusionary thought process rather distasteful.

But I'm not raging about this yet. Hopefully these rumors are nothing but rumors and hot air. I believe in a month or two we will know for sure.

And if it does prove to be what Microsoft perceives to be the " future of gaming" then my choice is clear.

No more xbox for me.

Well, I don't have anything better to do than make sardonic remarks, so:


#1: Get a broom? I hear they're cheap.
#2: Talk to people in person? Use a hard line phone? Fax? Send a letter? Train a carrier pigeon? [...] Move out of your cave? Stop sleeping in the subways tunnels?
#3: Oh, no apology necessary my good man. One man died reading your tweet, but it was just a coincidence. A vacuum cleaner fell on is head while he was running around with his phone trying to get a better wifi signal. The luck some people have...
#4: Well... On one hand we get some great communities, shows like Angry Joe, videos like "cute sneezing panda". On the other hand we also get people like yo... hm, well.
#5: And I want a bigger Dictionary. Sadly, 20 centimeters is the biggest I'm willing to pay for. Although... I did get an offer once from an oddly dressed librarian. She said she'd expand my vocabulary for $30 - something about homophobes and Sea Man.

How do you get to be Creative Director at Microsoft without understanding what people don't like about "always on" DRM in games? Did they not have a Sim City ragesplosion in the universe he lives in? Cripes, at least some developers grasp that when you get disconnected from a server it doesn't mean you need to be kicked out of single-player, but the whole idea of gaming transitioning to always-on pisses me off in ways it's hard to describe, and I have pretty reliable internet. Not perfect, but pretty reliable.

This guy...I don't even know, that's very displeasing to me, I wish it were possible to hit him with everything that's wrong with saying that.

tbh I get disconnected from PSN on a regular basis, always online would suck for me. If the PS4 doesn't have always online and the xbox does, I can't find a reason why anyone would buy one.

At the time of this typing, if you're planning on getting a PS4, Sony isn't as stupid as Microsoft so you'll be able to play without the internet.
