Microsoft responds to creative director's 'always-on' console comments
"We apologize for the inappropriate comments made by an employee on Twitter yesterday," the response reads. "This person is not a spokesperson for Microsoft, and his personal views do not reflect the customer centric approach we take to our products or how we would communicate directly with our loyal consumers."
"We are very sorry if this offended anyone, however we have not made any announcements about our product roadmap, and have no further comment on this matter."
Yesterday, Orth took to Twitter to publicly dismiss criticisms of always-online consoles, likely in response to rumors that the next-generation Xbox will require an online connection to play games. As of press time, Orth's Twitter account remains under lock and key.

Tideslapshot101 I wondered what happened to the guy who posted it in the first place... Was he demoted, fired? I sure they didn't just let him off free.
I was thinking the same thing, he must of been punished for that remark. I'll google it and if he got fired or what
Adam Orth left Microsoft, which leaves me to believe he was fired or he was forced to retire.

Ankoku It really ain't an issue for me if it needs to be always online. It is more of an issue for the thousands of people who do not have Xbox live.
Or people like me who's internet isn't the greatest so when i get disconnected i don't get kicked from a single player game.
