Reminder that this man was absolutely right about what consoles and tech would become

And you all laughed at him for being honest about it. Hell, he was throwing in free motion tracking and you all thumbed your nose at him to go build massive digital libraries that locked you into other hardware vendors, just like he said you would.

His only crimes were honesty and foresight. APOLOGIZE.

So? Why would I apologize to the guy who pushed those shitty practices before anyone else?

Wow, what a visionary. Mattrick-sama, I kneel.

in a just world microsoft would have drawn and quartered this guy (in minecraft) instead of just letting him move on to another company to do similar damage.

nah

The mistake he made was trying to bruteforce the vidya dystopia instantly instead of staggering it over gens. Gamers WILL accept anything and eat shit BUT you have to slowly condition them to it over time. Too much too fast and they go Joker on you

bad timing is bad timing. His premature decisions killed Xbox and those are the facts.
