This chat is great.

*Relatively straight-forward question*

*Ten minute pause*

*Non-answer*

 

[Dead Prince]

Have 10 minute chat. Don't answer anything? That's one approach.

 

[water_wendi]

What policies are fully formed?

 

[NullPointer]

Glad that's all cleared up.

Can't wait to see such clarity emblazoned on the box.

 

[Vamphuntr]

I sent a question but I don't think it will be answered. I asked what would happen if you bought a disc at retail but your internet or XBL would be down? Could you still play it?

 

[YouEnjoyMySelf]

dodging the question

PRofessionals

 

[BobTheFork]

Glad that's all cleared up.

It kind of does. They are back tracking from every other point of contention; If they confirm that part it seems the 24 check is real. Which probably means the rest of it is true and they just want the talk to stop for now.

 

[Addnan]

I love the lagtime between question and answer.

It's the lawyers seeing what they can say without pissing too many people off.

 

[Gamefreaks221]

This is just sad.

 

[ActStriker]

ahahahaha

 

[Carl]

More PR bollocks that doesn't mean anything

 

[Art Teitlebaum]

Delphic oracle was more tangible than this PR dodging.

 

[Meus Renaissance]

Larry, why are games tied to gamer profiles instead of discs when this will only make it hard to share or sell pre-owned games?

 

[SMT]

I asked him about the repercussions of not connecting to the interwebs once every 24h. Nothing.

 

[BruiserBear]

I hope once a game is fuking activated, I don't need to be online.

They've already said you'll still have to go online at least once a day.

 

[malfcn]

I love the lagtime between question and answer.

They can't press CTRL+V too fast y'know.

 

[Foffy]

I feel bad for him.

I don't. He, like all human beings, have the potential to do things where the truth matters. It's a shame he's currently at a part of a company where that doesn't matter.

 

[Sheeshor]

Why are they doing this? This has no purpose, not even promotional for them. If he can't answer anything why even bother. Really weird

 

[jschreier]

I really would love to know who thought it was a good idea to use marketing rhetoric like "It does not have to be always connected but it does require an internet connection."

 

[Sir Garbageman]

I love it

Major Nelson (Larry Hryb):
Answer: No. It does not have to be always connected but it does require an internet connection.

 

[GitarooMan]

Lol, that is the best non-answer yet, we're working on a plan. Better get crackin' then, system is coming soon.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Vaguest answer ever?

 

[jmdajr]

Bad news for you

lol

 

[TheContact]

these answers are so dodgy and ambiguous. what's the point of this?

 

[Deleted member 10571]

OH COME ON NOW

 

[Neuromancer]

Comment From Sam
What are Microsoft doing to welcome smaller, independent developers to the Xbox One?

Major Nelson (Larry Hryb): We're working on a plan for Xbox One is a platform that allows all creators, including those who work on games and apps, regardless of team size, funding, biz model, etc. to be a part of the future of Xbox One.




All right this is pointless, I'm done.

 

[Various Artists]

Well Im sure my cloud computing question wont be answered at this point, I had that shit typed out in MS word and then posted it 5 seconds after the chat opened. What a bunch of shit.

 

[dc89]

Cause the threads moving quick, I'll try and keep up with pictures. Maybe they can all go in OP when done.

 

[bj00rn_]

I kinda feel sorry for Larry.. The suits have put him in a difficult spot where he has to use all the smoke and mirrors he's got to deflect the facts and specifics that are important to people.

At the same time as he probably very well knows that Sony is now just leaning back watching MS getting beat up for just about the same policies that they (Sony) will roll out later this year, after all the commotion has slowed down.

 

[JABEE]

WHAT PLAN?!

 

[kingocfs]

Getting ridiculous now.

Seems pretty clear that you'll need it to verify games, but you won't need it to be on 24/7.

 

[daviyoung]

So API is new news right?

 

[AlexMogil]

Well we're out of questions, so we're going to end early.

Comment From robert t
How expensive is this system gonna be

Finalising plans etc etc

 

[Ravensmash]

We know your real name now, Sam.

Uh oh....

(I modified my name slightly )

"

Hmm...hopefully this is true although it's a similarly vague answer like the rest. Would've preferred something more in depth.

 

[Vexxan]

Incoming dodge

 

[JCreasy]

WTF Larry

"It doesn't have to be always connected, but it does require an internet connection".

It sounded better to themselves in the conference room when they were hashing this garbage out.

Again, insulting the intelligence of the customers.

 

[Cess007]

"We're working on a plan for Xbox One is a platform that allows all creators, including those who work on games and apps, regardless of team size, funding, biz model, etc. to be a part of the future of Xbox One"

.... eh? That wasn't the question Major D:

 

[Rebel Leader]

I love the lagtime between question and answer.

Currently infront of nelson is:

 

[sestrugen]

 

[SneakySneaks]

I really would love to know who thought it was a good idea to use marketing rhetoric like "It does not have to be always connected but it does require an internet connection."

Someone hoping it would give an aneurism to whoever asked.

 

[SMT]

They can't press CTRL+V too fast y'know.

I had a feeling they are scanning for questions that relate to what they have jotted down in the textpad window.

Some of these questions sound rather bogus, and staged.

The price, later this year? DUDE E3 is next month.

 

[NullPointer]

WHAT PLAN?!

Same one the Cylons had.

 

[xxracerxx]

Well no price announcement at E3 it seems.

 

[TheKayle]

the first good answer

"Major Nelson (Larry Hryb): We're working on a plan for Xbox One is a platform that allows all creators, including those who work on games and apps, regardless of team size, funding, biz model, etc. to be a part of the future of Xbox One. "


devs can work on x1 apps ?

 

[StormwatchGR]

 

[Ran rp]

:LOL :LOL :LOL

 

[RdN]

Could "Later this year" mean NOT at E3?
