Slashdot Mirror
Microsoft Game Director Adam Orth Resigns Following Xbox Comments
DavidGilbert99 writes "According to anonymous sources, Microsoft's game director Adam Orth has left the company following a series of comments on Twitter about the rumoured always-on aspect of the next generation Xbox console. It is still unclear if Orth left voluntarily or was pushed out but either way it's not good news for Microsoft." If you'd prefer your news without obnoxious auto-playing video ads (with sound!), IGN reports Orth's departure, too.
I don't see the problem with a job that requires you to be always hired :-P
ranting and bitching about Steve Ballmer for almost a decade with no results. Turns out the correct method is twitter?
Good people go to bed earlier.
Dad: Here kid, I got you a Ouya!
Kid: Waaaaahhhh!
Lost your job? Deal with it.
/. has gone down hill since being bought by Dice.
Once Dice.com instituted an "always on" Internet connection policy to read Slashdot, it became nearly impossible for me to read. It's become particularly hard since I lost my job and can no longer browse and troll Twitter from work.
Why do anon cowards make these demands but then provide no method of means of complying? Maybe if you provided a location and a method of contacting you, I could comply. But simply demanding something in the fashion you have is just silly.
You should write it something like:
Then, assuming I could make it to Washington DC, I could, if I was interested, come around and knock on your door. If I liked your looks, and you didn't smell, and your place was not to messy, and you offered me a decent drink, etc., I might well, "shut up and suck your dick". But you know, just making random demands on the Internet isn't enough. You've got to put effort into it.
