Lock if old.

 

[Smutpeddler]

wow he can't spell definitely?

 

[murgo]

definately

 

[disastermouse]

Marc Whitten can't spell 'definitely' correctly? WTF, man, WTF?

 

[DietRob]

Welp it's definitive.

 

[foxbeldin]

What about xbox two?

 

[Woffls]

Definately not convinced.

 

[EightBitNate]

That definitely doesn't say "definitely".

So he's lying.

 

[~~Hasan~~]

Just lol

 

[K.Sabot]

Nothing to get mad about, I still accidently misspell words all the time.

 

[PodcastFips]

Maybe we should save this tweet for future reference. I'm still sceptical about their plans.

 

[Revolutionary]

6 months from now:
"We never said definitely, we said definately, which isn't even a word. Xbox, DRM on!"

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

That definitely doesn't say "definitely".

So he's lying.

case closed

 

[Slashlen]

wow he can't spell definitely?

That's the trick. It's not a real promise if it's not spelled correctly.

 

[Parablank]

good to hear for people getting the X1

if MS pulled it off I think they would lose all the trust they had from the community

 

[Hyunashi]

Who knows how long before XB2

 

[squidyj]

wow he can't spell definitely?

"See, I said definately, which isn't even a word, so it should have been clear I was making no claims about whether or not DRM would be returning"

 

[Mr Nash]

Definately not convinced.

I know! The whole thing's rediculous! D-:<

 

[Canis lupus]

[Cidd]

wow he can't spell definitely?

loophole!

 

[Bricky]

Duh, Microsoft isn't planning on repeating its biggest PR-disaster in (recent) history anytime soon even IF they actually still believe always-online DRM is the way to go.

 

[kasane]

Definately means he is lying

#tinfoilhat

 

[Prelude.]

I trast that man.

 

[Riki]

We'll see in 7 years how this holds up.

 

[Barzul]

He misspelled a word on twitter, it's funny but I think we get the point he was making.

 

[Seik]

Wow, I can't believe he made a typo like that. =_=

I trast that man.

:lol

 

[Creaking]

Welp it's definitive.

*definative.

 

[jaypah]

"What the hell?! You said it definitely wasn't coming back!"

"I never said that. Gotcha bitch!"

Someone tweet that to Marc!

 

[Burbeting]

Well, they said before 180's that DRM was definitely going to stay...

Still, I trust him with this. It would be quite stupid to Microsoft implement the DRM back in the middle of a generation. However, X1's successor might be altogether different tale.

"Hey I can't help it if you need a connection to play this game if it uses servers... We can only affect the system and the system can go without the internet..."

 

[Cryolemon]

wow he can't spell definitely?

lol.

Definitely is one of the few words that I don't consistently misspell..

 

[Vashetti]

Not returning because it never left!

 

[Nibel]

Maybe his real name is Mark White

 

[AlphaStriker]

Little known fact, definately is actually slang in some areas for "definitely not".

 

[PotionBleue]

Finally, Whitten [corporate vice president of Xbox] could not give any reassurance that Microsoft will not change its policies in the future.

 

[sleepykyo]

6 months from now:
"We never said definitely, we said definately, which isn't even a word. Xbox, DRM on!"

Yep. Intentional misspelling.

 

[opticalmace]

Misleading thread title, he didn't say definitely. :lol

 

[Cryolemon]

Not returning because it never left!

That gif lol

 

[DietRob]

*definative.

I messed up my own joke.

I'll go stand in the corner now.

 

[Smutpeddler]

Honestly though, they can't bring it back in it's original form, but they may bring back some optional form of it. Changing mid gen is not possible.

 

[RE_Player]

wow he can't spell definitely?

It's one of the few words I misspell often as well.

 

[Vodh]

Maybe his real name is Mark White

That made me laugh way harder than it should.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

"No DRM? Where'd you get that? We said no drums."

 

[Albo]

Definitely not returning...

for at least a couple more years till most of you forget about it which is when we'll sneak it back in.

 

[Anonumos]

This juvenile shit that you guys are doing is really annoying. He misspelled. It happens. Stop getting distracted by shinny things.

Jesus

 

[Barzul]

Not returning because it never left!

Where's that gif from?

 

[mr teaspoon]

People are nuts if they think DRM, as it was originally envisioned, will ever return.

The backlash, besides being so memorable as to forever be a part of any conversation about the introduction of the console, translated to an actual, quantifiable loss for Microsoft to the point that they reversed it all.

This isn't resolutiongate or something that only we care about, this was an incredibly unpopular series of ideas.
