Major Nelson addresses the Xbox One issues

why isn't neogaf there?


Huh, Major Nelson says if you get banned, you don't lose access to your games
 
Love how Major Nelson scoffs at the idea that you would ever lose your games if you were banned. "Yay? What do you mean yay?"

Very nice to see that issue dealt with. So we can dial it back a bit guys - you will not lose access to your stuff if you get banned.

He's probably being bombarded with stupid tweets all day long.
 
So much spin.

His answer to the 24 hour online check-in as a benefit to the consumer is "keeping up to date with your library".

What's funny is we had an interview set up with Sony and after reviewing the redditors questions they declined to do the interview because they didn't like the "hardware" questions... but XB gets flamed daily. ooh internet :)

So Sony denied to allow you an interview?
Lame.

Yes. They first wanted to pre-screen questions which we agreed to; then declined us an interview after reviewing the questions...we were shocked to say the least. In regards to what kinds of "hardware" questions skydart had them on her list. But MS opened their doors and gave us an exclusive interview with Major Nelson upstairs... they treated us like any other major news outlet. They got big points for that in my book.. I'm probably still buying a PS4 though :-P (PC is still where its at though.)

My best guess to this was A. there wasn't a person who could answer these questions thoroughly enough or "that person" was too busy for "our" interview... or B. They've got plenty of good PR on reddit without having to actually address anyone's concerns regarding their console...
 
Well their support team is designed to help customers who have tech issues with the consoles, not to ask for product information, right?

Well if the support team doesn't know the right answer then they shouldn't bother answering the question at all, right?
 
Having different faces of the company making direct statements that 100% conflict with another is fucking terrible. Xbox One is probably the most confused console in over a decade.
 
Up to question four so far.

Terrible, terrible spin on questions 1, 3 and 4. Seriously banking on ignorance.

And the playing dumb on question 6...sheesh.
 
People should really stop forming opinions based on 'information' gleamed from Xbox support twitter and Xbox support should stop giving out information. MS really have to tighten up on their messaging.

That's really weird.
 
Hey guess what Larry. I don't need an always online connection to have access to my library of games. It's called a shelf/box/stand and I can access them at any time without an internet connection.
 
Major Nelson* is what's wrong with the video game industry. An old asshole that hardly plays games trying to tell us what we want.

* You can pretty much replace Major Nelson with any exec at Microsoft in that sentence.
 
Q:Will you change anything after seeing the Sony conference?
A:I don't really think... we're not going to change anything. We're really happy with Xbox One.

Well... that's a wrap.

Exactly. It's like pulling teeth!

That's very odd.
