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 idiots. Do you agree?

Fixed.

Well yeah I kinda agree that most consumers are idiots. It's just surprising that Mehdi is willing to let us all in on that little trade secret and pretty openly tell people they are idiots. Of course very few people will read / hear of this condescending statement so it'll amount to not much.
