I feel like this is just the build-up to much better things.
And by better I mean so so terrible.
And by better I mean so so terrible.
For me it is the always on console as I don't buy or sell used games but philosophically I think they are both terrible and combine to mean that you essentially have no ownership over any of your content.
Not irrelevant. I want clarification since Sony was very fuzzy with details in the past.
Looks like I have links, but I will wait for the final product since Sony changes things before console releases.
Holy fuck. Lol wow well there you go GAF.
MS, you have lost my business. Purchased probably 100+ new games this gen for my 360 and i was a launch buyer compared to about 20 on ps3. Your count goes down to 2 next gen and when the console is super cheap.
Your greed and arrogance is going to bite you in the ass. Good luck.

Lets just not forget, that although PS4 doesn't require always on connection, "streaming" any ps1/2/3 games will.
For what its worth.

I don't even.
Ohhh I get it now. He's trying to get fired George Costanza style.
What? Who wouldn't want a server list? I mean Matchmaking is nice and all but lists are amazing.
Except that Sony has already confirmed they won't be - http://kotaku.com/5985874/ps4-will-not-require-an-always+online-connection
I don't even.
I'm starting to actually like this guy. He's such an asshole that it's kinda refreshing in a "Fuck you, I got mine" way.

To me, they're basically the same thing in that both of them limit the lifespan of games.
He's a creative director at MS.

I live in south west Florida and have satellite Internet. 15 mbps with a 25 gig cap A MONTH, a street down everyone has Comcast. There are no plans to expand into my area for a few years, so fuck yourself Microsoft. I'm going back to Sony for the first time since PS2.
Steam has offline mode. As long as your games are up to date you can play them single player. Used it a lot when my connection was unreliable or I'm at my grandparents.
Tis true.
Dat wishful thinking...
I don't think paying for online is worth it, but that isn't even in the same ball park as this.

God's had his chance.
Dudes managers are gonna hang his ass out to dry ... Why.. if you aren't on the PR side of shit ... would you put yourself out there like this? Even if his opinion wasn't arrogant bs and was an actual reasoned and calm logical argument... you don't want shit like this coming from your employees fuckin Twitter account.
Crazy junior league fumbles all over the damn place. MS is in for a hard first year in the next gen... would be absolutely crazy to see all their goodwill from this gen toasted just like that.
God i love the console wars.

I get that impression as well. I can't imagine someone who both works at Microsoft and knows their plans in regards to "always-online" posting those tweets.
Does it give XP though?
I need little bars that full up.
Hey, I think I have that too, it's pretty awesome!!
You don't think Sony has backpedaled a lot in promises over the years?
PS2 with polygon counts that dwindled nearing launch date.
PS3 with features removed before and even after release.
Wow this guy comes off as a huge asshole. Not sure what he is trying to accomplish with those tweets...
PS4 looking pretty damn good right now. With the Halo franchise going down the drain there is very little tying me to the xbox anymore. Stuff like this just makes it easier to switch over. This gen I eventually bought both consoles but I really don't know what Microsoft is doing anymore.
Hopefully they have some kind of ace up their sleeve, for their sake.

All of those things are nice options if you are connected, but I don't see how any of those optional features are enough to require a constant connection. It has to be an essential, core, permeating functionality that would necessitate it. I don't know what that could possibly be.

OP, include these earlier tweets, too:
....wow. I'd be shocked if his boss doesn't have some choice words for him in the morning.

if xbl was like steam it would be somewhat forgive able but with that attitude I don't know what to expect. What a jackassI don't usually agree with gif responses but...
If they think people are gonna be ok with not being able to play a game, that they bought on a damn disc, because their internet happens to be being funny, then Microsoft has another thought coming. PS4 sales are gonna go up mad this generation.
On the flip side, most people use Steam fine most of the time without complaint. Steam also doesn't work if you suddenly lose internet, but people don't stop using Steam, though admittedly Steam has a hell of a lot more pluses than Xbox Live as it stands.

So, if you want the Durango you need to move to another city.
Holy fucking shit. They're really doing it.
Almost as good as getting a second job for PS3.

I'm taking this as confirmation then. And while we're at it, no used games is probably a certainty now too.
Except he doesn't make any logical sense at all....so it's not refreshing.

Well if this is the sentiment MS will take regarding their next gen console, they can DEAL with me and millions of other NOT buying their device.
Thank you Sony, at least one of the big three got it right it seems.
Hopefully it isn't always online though and this tool is being just that...a tool.

Will always online really affect many people?
Both my Xbox and ps3 don't know what it feels like to be without Internet.
