This should be a big arguing point. We can even twist it into something like "Microsoft doesn't support our troops." But seriously always only is ridiculously anti-consumer.

If you don't work at Microsoft, you all literally don't know what you are talking about.

Lmao. Pretty much how I feel.
I'm thinking people will be more upset about it than it actually affecting them.

Yes, good news. Now just waiting until they announce that they are blocking used games and that would make my day. (I am being serious right now). Can't wait until microsoft gets whats coming at them for this.
Again, please don't fire me.
Please apologize for your awful analogies next.
Microsoft doesn't support our troops.
He thinks that since MS only supported broadband on the original Xbox and not dial up that they know what is best for consumers. So always online will be the next coming of MSChrist.

lol this screams damage control.

Just stop......just stop.
Please be excited for online 24/7
As a dissatisfied 360 owner, I would have to disagree with this. Too many broken promises from Rare and being the only console that still makes you pay for the online is too troublesome for me to handle.

LOL. Is he pretending the majority of what he tweeted didn't happen?
"I'll just focus on this one part here and hope the forget about the rest..."

Yep, it means all of GAF will almost certainly be able to play games on the next xbox.
Wait...

I like my job very much. It pays for my internet.
God I hope its not true.
I prefer SONY and will no doubt get the ps4, but still want the nextbox to be a success, we NEED competition or else we, the consumers, get fucked.
MS have a long way to go to persuade me ( out side of Alan wake, nothing they have can interest me, plus I will probably get like 2 or 3 ps4 games already, so hoping for new IPS at E3, I just want good games I am interested in and who ever delivers that gets my money...)

Do we still need to move to US to play 720 uninterrupted though?
Pretty much. "Maybe if I apologize for that city comment they'll forget about the rest.....then TROJAN HORSE baby!!!"
Love this age of social-media and virals.

Kotaku with that breaking news.

Exactly. Remember the Christmas when Live was down for a solid week? Imagine if no one could play their single player games either. What if a group with a botnet decides they aren't happy that X game was canceled and decides to attack. I'm still very much in doubt that this console is going to be online only, but let's say it is. They're going to need a contingency plan a hell of a lot better than giving away Undertow 2.
Except when the servers are down for the first week.
And viral it goes:
Kotaku going in.
Again, please don't fire me.
He went pretty far to try and troll someone. I'm sure he's heard of direct messaging in Twitter right? Wouldn't all this have been better there?
How in the world can he even try to justify this by just saying "it's a joke" now?
But guys, he was just joking about non-cities with his buddy!!And viral it goes:
Isn't Jaffe originally from middle of nowhere Alabama? I wonder if he can get reliable fiber internet there.
Well you an say about yourself you didn't get the point and didn't read the thread/arguments agaisnt it.

Thank goodness. Microsoft has been effectively paying my salary for the past 8 years.
I still get to have an opinion.
Thanks for the clarification, Rainbow in the Dark.
It is amazing how so many people don't understand what facebook posts and tweets actually mean. If you are posting stuff on a private account and have your account open for all to see than what you post will be taken at face value. Teachers have lost jobs for posting completely legal photos of them having fun but get canned because it is seen as not appropriate for a teacher. The fact that someone high up at microsoft doesn't understand this or trying to pretend he doesn't is fucking stupid.
Be nice to my asshole friend guys.
Damage control.
"I want every device to be always on."
"Those people should definitely get with the times and get the internet. It's awesome."
"Sorry for expressing my personal opinion about what I want from the electronic devices..."
None of this was part of their back and forth. And even within their conversation he said he didn't get the drama around always online, Manveer responding with "SimCity/Diablo III?"
Yeah, sounds like it was all a joke.

Only if he made better analogies, Jaffe.
See a few pages back, he said something about "fuck Halo" during an interview with Jaffe in 2007. It probably was just a joke, I doubt anyone at MS would even care. But you know how it goes on the Internet - once you say it it's out there forever.
