I går fortalte vi om hvordan Adam Orth havde forladt Microsoft, efter aggressivt at have klaget over de forbrugere, der satte sig imod krav om konstant netforbindelse på spil. Nu får Orth støtte fra den forhenværende Epic- og Gears of War-mand Cliff Bleszinski.
Cliffy mener, at det er vældig nemt at spille hellig i sådan et situation:
"It's awfully easy to sit on an anonymous forum or venue and sling mud at someone who has put themselves out there. Show me a person who hasn't said something dumb or incorrect or yes, even cocky on the internet and he should cast the first stone."
Kravet om konstant netforbindelse er også noget vi må vænne os til, ifølge Bleszinski:
"My gut is telling me that an always online future is probably coming. It's coming fast, and possibly to the majority of the devices you enjoy. Sim City, with all of its' troubles on launch, seems to be selling briskly. Diablo 3, the poster child of a messy launch, is estimated to be at 12 million units."
Til sidst skriver Bleszinski, at han er forarget over hvordan bøllementalitet online kan presse folk ud af deres job:
"I find it disgusting that an online community would revel in the fact that they may have potentially contributed to a person losing their job. Even then, if they didn't have anything to do with it at the end of the day, that they have the collective ego to think that they could do that. In a world of Indie-go-go and Kickstarter, where we can do great things in numbers, we should know better."
