Ah haha some people actually think the broohaha over this is about his stupid comment about smaller cities
Have you tried using that? Certainly not an easy works 100% if the time solution. The current game consoles work much better than Steam in this situation. I am just wondering why the same amount of hate is not placed on Steam?
I like this one better.At least the expression on his face probably matches his twitter avatar right now.
Adam was giving his friend- they are good friends in real life- shit about where he lives. People are taking it wrong. I GET why people are taking it the way they are based on what they have to go on, but in the interest of making the truth known: Orth was NOT knocking folks who don't live in cities and such. It simply is not that but I fear- cause Adam is a good friend of mine and a great game designer- that most folks will take it as a slap to less populated areas of the country and that is SO. NOT. ADAM.

1) I don't own multiple 360sDo you actually not sign into Xbox Live when you are playing single player games because that seems very weird to me.
I love single player games, but I don't play them when I'm offline because I don't know which of my consoles I last played them on. You can overwrite your game saves when you're relying on cloud syncing. You also risk achievements not syncing. Also some XBLA games will not let you play unless you are online. It's not worth the hassle. If the Internet is out the Xbox is a DVD player.

MS are going to have to think of really creative ways to spin this information if they want nextbox to sell. At the same time Sony should make it a priority to attack this "feature" of nextbox.
The issue isn't blowing up because of the slap to rural areas.Adam was giving his friend- they are good friends in real life- shit about where he lives. People are taking it wrong.

You know that's just what Braid and BioShock and Limbo were missing! More sharing and social features. Thanks for enlightening us man!

This guy got Neogafed and Reddit Front Page at the same time. I can hear the PR people jumping out of windows right now.
Also, Why is everyone so quick to pitch fork for this guy's job? He made a mistake thinking that what he says on twitter could have some form of privacy, and he came off, out of context to us, like kind of a dick. Does that alone warrant him losing his job?
To be fair this kind of stuff has far reaching implications, if one of the big three are fully embracing this "always-online" business model it sets a precedent for the rest of the games industry.
With that in mind it's entirely reasonable for people to be getting "worked up" over what appears to be a high profile member of MS publicly mocking customer concerns. Doesn't matter if he was joking, he represents Microsoft, his words reflect the company position whether he likes it or not.
so what about the online-only stuff

Braid and Bioshock and Limbo are nice indie hits with critics, but they are not World of Warcraft or Minecraft or even Farmville in terms of monetary value and mainstream appeal.
Social is extremely important to selling games, it isn't an accident that Sony is putting a share button on their controller. Half the PS4 conference was about how important social and sharing is. Well most of those features Sony talked about are worthless if they don't convince their customers to connect their console to the Internet frequently.
He shouldn't lose his job because of this.
But I won't buy Durango if it's always online.

The first part says
There is no reason that is necessary on a console level.The only logical conclusion to 720 always being online is that the servers will be needed to help out with graphics and sound processing. Seems like this was talked about sometime in 2012. Does anyone remember what article I am referring too?
Knowing Adam, he was probably fucking around with M. But I've not spoken with him- he MAY believe that, he may have just been kidding. I honestly have zero idea about that part. But I honestly hope he doesn't get fired for it. I know so many of you guys who are opposed to 'online only' don't care (and that is certainly your right) but this is a real human we are talking about with a family and trust me when I say that he's one of the good ones. You may disagree with him about this issue (assuming he really meant what he wrote- and yes, that was his responsibility to be aware of how stuff reads on Twitter and how hungry folks are for news about next-gen, especially from someone with his job title) but I assure you guys: if you knew the guy, you'd be feeling really bad for him right now and really all works out great for him.
Not asking you to change your mind or anything- just giving my perspective on it.

The 'why would I live there?' tweet is not why this is all over the internet, as you well know.
That is the only tweet that could be seen a s aback-and-forth between friends. But even still, when taken in context with his other tweets, it seems to just be another ridiculous analogy/reason why complaining about always online is wrong. You don't have good internet, why don't you just move?

Buy Sony stock. There is no way this won't be disastrous at least in the start.

I definitely disagree with his views on always online but yeah if this is just casual tweeting between friends, it'd be a shame for the man to lose his job. He'd also have tweeted at the worst possible time with kotaku's article today regarding always online and people still feeling the sting of Sim City's botched launchKnowing Adam, he was probably fucking around with M.

In other news, MS doesn't care about 47% of gamers. Says they feel entitled to offline gaming and that they'll never be able to get them to take responsibility for themselves.
Why would anyone at Microsoft vigorously defend it as a joke unless they were actually doing it? That's really the only significant news here, and no one has addressed it since this broke out.

David Jaffe confirmed to be working on a Durango online only exclusive?
God, I hope this always online feature gets officially announced at E3 with everyone responding with a resounding "boooo!"
