@clynch0527 And someone failed to notice 'AU' in 'Salt_AU' which alongwith spelling should suggest he/she is from Australia. Also note that I haven't mentioned my nationality. Also, he very well might be on au.gamespot.com. Really, try going to au.gamespot.com
@inaka_rob Have you wondered where all these rumors come from? What if these rumors are being started by MS just to gauge reactions before they make final calls? Companies do it way more frequently than you realize... fake rumors to gauge industry reactions.
@MoronGotMyName I get where you coming from, but am talking about bigger picture and way into future when Internet will be as common and widespread as electricity is today. For the record, I don't even play MP games today coz am more of an offline SP/couch-co-op player.
@CivilizedPsycho @MoronGotMyName @the_requiem Never. But I work in networking industry and already putting things in place for every device connected all the time. Read up on something called Power-over-Ethernet. The day your networking cable is also your power cable, you're always online. 60-70 years from now when internet is as common as electricity, always on WILL be required. Always on as an OPTION will be available much sooner.
Always online is the future and is inevitable. Just that now is not the time for it, people are not ready for it, infrastructure isn't ready for it. I was hoping to get a X720+Kinect for the living room for wife and kids, but now will go for a cheap 360 instead.
@MAD_AI And yet Steam has been implementing DRM for PC gamers as opposed to current [insert any console]. I love Steam as a service but you can't ignore role it played in making PC gamers accept DRM.
@cmacinnis @jagcivtec Just wondering if you read the other Kotaku article where the posted MS Creative Director's response. Could he be trolling? Yes. But is he really that stupid to not be aware of shitstorm statements like this would create, trolling or not?
