gaming Microsoft's latest "Open mouth, insert foot" moment

[FoxyCryptid 4,330]

I can't decide who the bigger jackasses are Microsoft for this blatant show of contempt or Sony patenting software that renders used games worthless, do these geniuses actually know how to communicate with their consumers with anything other than a big fat fuck you to everyone that has ever bought their products or that might consider buying their products?

Sony said they weren't using it, companies often patent things they have no intention of using just to keep others from using it. 

 

I'm going to get a lot of hate for this...and I mean quite a lot of hate. But...I don't see what's so bad. I'm not getting an Xbox One, and I'm completely indifferent on the issue. I despise Sony, so I obviously want nothing to do with them. I find it interesting how when Sony acts a bit sassy, it's fine and totally mature. But, when Microsoft does it, it's the end of the world and they're suddenly the worst company ever. Seriously, Sony acted immature as hell at the E3 conference, yet no one cares, annoying as hell to me. I may own an Xbox 360, but I'm not trying kiss ass here. I have always despised Sony. Microsoft is....alright. Nintendo is cool, though. Also, I'm getting a PC instead of either console (couldn't pay me to have a PS4), so you can't use the whole, "you're an idiot for buying an Xbox One". 

 

The difference is that Microsoft didn't make a joke, they showed blatant contempt and disrespect for their fans and basically told them to piss off.

I'm not gonna lie, i'm an outspoken Xbox 360 fanboy, but honestly, i've never been more disgusted at a company's sheer greed and arrogance. while i believe he wasn't trying to make a smarmy remark, and was just stating that the 360 has life left in it, he has done it in the most inept way known to man.

 

I know that i'm going to end up buying an xbox one, the games and controller just appeal to me much more than the PS4, but there's no way im supporting microsoft.

 

My solution: buy a pre-owned Xbox One.

fuck you, Microsoft.
