Peter Molyneux den legendariske spilmager med de store armbevægelser forsvarer i et interview med Tech Radar Microsofts tidligere planer om krav til "always online" på Xbox One.
Han mener ganske enkelt, at vi som forbrugere må vænne os til, at produkter som konsoller skal være online og sammenligner det direkte med mobiletelefoner, som heller ikke er meget bevendte uden tilslutning til nettet.
"I know Microsoft, I know they were only doing things because they thought they were long-reaching and long-thinking. But the world we live in now is that we have to realise, especially if you're a big corporation, if you make one step wrong, the world will leap on you, and unfairly, very unfairly, they will judge you", siger Molyneux.
"Whether as consumers we like it or not, just like every form of technology interaction, there's an inevitability of online. We know that online is so much a part of our existence now that we're going to be in a world very soon where we have to be online all the time."
Han afslutter: "A mobile device is more and more non functional without a connection to the internet, and why should that be any different for consoles?"
