Microsoft Exec. Quits After Always-On DRM Twitter Fight
255It's still not clear if the successor console to XBOX-360 will have required always-on DRM or not, as there have been rumors on both sides. But that doesn't stop people from talking about it. Passionately.
Adam Orth has since become famous as a Microsoft executive who does not understand why people do not like Always-on DRM. Or he doesn't care. He got in spats with people with retorts like 'Deal with it' to people arguing against DRM making their consoles unworkable.
So now...he's resigned. Did he resign under pressure? Should he have resigned?
...think he was aware of what a jerk he was being?
Or do you think he was reasonable to tweet his opinions, even as a Microsoft executive?
