When asked about the negative reaction of the internet and E3 towards Xbone's DRM, Microsoft Xbox Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer Yusuf Mehdi replied: "I think it's fair to say there's a segment of consumers at this show in particular who really pay attention, who are very passionate about all aspects of gaming, and that we listen to closely. In a broader set of community, people don't pay attention to a lot of the details. We've seen it in the research, we've seen it in a lot of the data points."

Sounds to me like he is saying that they will get away with the DRM because most consumers are too ignorant. Do you agree?


why did you edit the quote to make it seem more negative?  

While the Internet is decidedly up in arms about the way the Xbox One handles game ownership and online check-ins, Mehdi said it was "hard to say" what the larger reaction from the less attentive mainstream consumers would be. "I think it's fair to say there's a segment of consumers at this show in particular who really pay attention, who are very passionate about all aspects of gaming, and that we listen to closely. In a broader set of community, people don't pay attention to a lot of the details. We've seen it in the research, we've seen it in a lot of the data points."
