While personally I agree with Microsoft firing or forcing Adam Orth to resign, I agree with many statements that Cliff makes in this and many of his other interviews. People flip out on the internet because they can without any consequence. One too many times do we see the internet explode, whine, and complain over nothing and Adam Orth is not the first instance. Vgchartz alone has these things happen every single day.
The internet is a powerful tool but it can also be powerful in the wrong ways. When people figured out they can give their opinions to complete strangers without the same consequences of real life is when we learned a lot of people's opinions are garbage in the first place. People throw logic out the window and ignore studies just to whine. Not saying this is the case for Adam Orth but it has happened in other situations.
I also don't agree with always online but I did not par take in raging on the internet and saying how this Adam Orth guy is that I don't even know is horrible person or is complete trash. Just look at people's avatars and signature on this site making a meme out of this guy. In reality he has an opinion just like me or you but the difference is his opinion turned into hell and is now all over the internet because he is more of public figure. I'm sure you have said dumb things too yet you are not being made fun of constantly for it. Cliff also mentioned something of that nature.
Adam Orth's comments while out of line the gamers comments has been just as out of line as him. Everybody makes mistakes.
