Creative director of Microsoft Studios kind of tells people to flip off for not agreeing to the idea of having a console needing to be "always-online"... But he doesn't say it quite professionally.

Acting like a 13-year old douche, The creative director who goes under the skype name "Orthy" kind of flips out on people for those who disagree with him. Here's his tweets all in one box

Why do adults constantly feel the need to act as children these days? Seriously. When you are a person of notable standing in a company, your interactions with the public represent the company which you work for, especially considering he was dealing with a topic pertaining to the product which his company produces. It's like everyone has gotten dumb with the advent of Facebook and Twitter. Posting compromising pictures online, or making unprofessional comments that make you look really bad as a person.

On the other hand, is it acceptable to stifle one's speech? Should Microsoft the company be judged by the tirades made by a random step in the ladder? Should an employee who acquires such a position simply expect all their thoughts and opinions made through social media to be judged by the public and put their job in jeopardy?

Thoughts?

Logical Discussion Go! Go! Go!

He did this as a PR move. The whole time he was just acting like a sarcastic a****** internet dude. Obviously Microsoft had seen that the internet (which most gamers use) didn't like the Xbox 360. So this guy decided to act really internet-y to pander to them.

Perhaps not, but it happens anyways lol

au contraire monsieur, i think it IS.

after a certain point when you reach a representative position on the microsoft corporate ladder, you really shouldn't be surprised when you use your official twitter (that's quite clearly tied to your job position) for your personal opinions and get called out for it.
