XBox employee shitcanned for stating obvious
Has anyone heard about this guy who got fired from Microsoft for telling a reporter about how the company knew about the RROD? The man’s name is Robert Delaware, a video game tester. Here’s what he said:
“Microsoft knew it had flawed machines, but it did not delay its launch because it believed the quality problems would subside over time. With each new machine, the company figured it would ride the “learning curve,” or continuously improve its production. Even though Microsoft’s leaders knew their quality wasn’t top notch, they did not ensure that resources were in place to handle returns and quickly debug bad consoles. There were plenty of warning signs, but the company chose to ignore them. The different parts of the business weren’t aligned.”So now Microsoft is taking civil action against this guy. What is this, some sort of vast conspiracy to try to keep the public from realizing that the 360 was made like shit? Tell me something I don’t already know. Microsoft knows it, and we know it, too. And we knew they knew it. This is like if Sony were to hunt down anyone who said that Liar was a post-birth abortion waiting to happen. They should have taken the wire coat hanger to it before it even hit shelves.
