Microsoft has moved to distance itself from comments made last week by Adam Orth, a creative director at Microsoft Studios.
Orth posted Tweets in support of always connected devices and questioned why people would live in “non-cities”
“We apologize for the inappropriate comments made by an employee on Twitter yesterday,” reads a statement posted by Major Nelson. “This person is not a spokesperson for Microsoft, and his personal views do not reflect the customer centric approach we take to our products or how we would communicate directly with our loyal consumers.”
The statement continues: “We are very sorry if this offended anyone, however we have not made any announcements about our product roadmap, and have no further comment on this matter.”
Orth’s comments aren’t the only comments to suggest that Microsoft may be planning to introduce an always-online requirement in its next Xbox.
Comments that surfaced via tech blogger Paul Thurrott earlier today suggested the same thing.
