You must be new. Or dense. Or both?
He would have got fired eventually though
Those tweets were such bad press that even major media outlets not related to gaming picked it up, it was nuts
Quite honestly, I want to see a study on how many jobs are/were lost to social media sites , it's getting crazy.
I honestly wouldn't have said anything and just repeated "you'll find out soon" for any xbox next tweets.
I believe "avoid tarnishing your company's name, image and reputation" is an implicit part of any job description.If his job was something like PR, or customer relations - then this would be a big sacking offense. However if twitter communications are not in any way part of his job description, then this mistake would not impact on how well he performs his job, and so should not be a sacking offence.
according to kevin dent he will be picked up immediately:

"And for the record said MSFT exec is incredibly talented and will get picked up pretty quickly, it's MSFT's loss 100%! They were stupid."

Remind me never to buy anything from Kevin Dent. His whole conversation makes him look like a tool bag.
But that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying he resigned because he wanted to.
Read that convo of his, holy fuck...who the hell is this guy?
Yeah let's get that guy fired too!If this guy wasn't very important then whoever gave him the title of Creative Director of Microsoft Studios should be fired for making this dude sound super important. His title made it seem like he was involved in some of the grand Xbox grand strategy which added further weight to his words.
Wow. WOW.Remind me never to buy anything from Kevin Dent. His whole conversation makes him look like a tool bag.
I'm sorry for forcing Orth to write such stupid tweets.
Hold on, let me get on the internet and start a movement for the greater good!That damn internet! Someone should really do something about it.

If the next Xbox doesn't require always online I think people will very, very quickly forget it, much like how people forgot all about Sony's anti-used patents that were showing up pre-PS3. If it DOES have it though then I think he's poisoned the well as it were and Microsoft will have a hard time trying to sell people on it.Except this isn't just some "fuck up", Adam Orth could have very well killed the 720 before it's even officially announced.
Sure sounds like I'm saying that doesn't it?
Industry people, sure. Except MS.People can't just admit/realize/face the fact that the dude messed up, it seems.
Not dense enough to misinterpret sarcasm, no.
then hes bullshitting you
NOBODY just resigns/loses a job voluntary is this shitty economy
MS just gave him the mercy route in letting him resign "voluntarily"
mostly so his resume doesn't say "FIRED" on it which scares away future employers
You must be too busy copy/pasting entire articles from other sites to know exactly who you're talking to.
Not at the moment, no. I know exactly who I'm talking to, but you must too thick to also sense when someone is being sarcastic?

I knew he was being sarcastic.
Just because.
