Here is their response:
"Hi everyone. I understand the questions you all have. I hope you understand that it's a bit overwhelming to try and answer everything in real time. After tonight, I'm going to ask Jake (or Jacob?) to field your questions and funnel them to me for answers. Then we can do that in an organized way. But for now, I'm going to try and answer some that I thought were most important."
First, why the secrecy?
"MS knows who I am. That's why I'm not concerned about self identifying to them in these postings with details only they would know, as some here have pointed out. The people who founded Xbox hw number 10. 1 left to go be the VP of manufacturing at Qualcomm, 1 left to go be the GM of engineering at Zune, 1 left after only 2 months in '99 due to conflicts with toddhol. He works on Surface now. The rest still work on Xbox. I am the only one who left the company entirely."
With the end of the Big Spring Sale and the lead-up to Easter, Amazon has axed the price of this stunning, high-performance Alienware display.
Over the last 25 years, there has been a fair few South Park games, and here GameSpew has ranked them all from best to worst.
We are going to see a lot of crap South Park products since they sold out to paramount years ago. It's their IP they can sell out, of course; it just means the quality of their show has tanked and other products as well. Nevertheless, they put on excellent musicals, but those haven't been sold to a mega corporation.
Workers at Sega of America, a division of Sega Sammy Holdings Inc., have became the first employees at a major North American video-game company to ratify a union contract, a move that may accelerate a burgeoning labor movement in an industry known for widespread instability among its work force.
The contract, ratified Tuesday, covers around 150 people across marketing and other departments at the division’s offices in Southern California. Workers will receive minimum yearly pay increases of 4% in 2024, 3% in 2025 and 2.5% in 2026 as well as a number of other benefits, Catalina Brennan-Gatica, a representative for the Communications Workers of America, said in an interview.

Worst thing that will happen is it will have a lower stock price and ceos won't get extra millions they don't really need. Other than that the company will continue on and ppl will be treated better.
This is AWESOME - Sega seems to be progressive in their new ways - big props to Sega !!!
makes a lot of sense but I dont buy his whole I came out so late reason...
edit feels more like a disgruntled employee imo
Still i think hes painting a very accurate picture of what happened with the 360.
edit2 at the fanbois reporting this article stfu
plenty of stories have been published here from this source just cause it sheds a little light on the screw up m$ called the 360 doesnt mean its not news... Hell if this was dirt on the ps3 form a two bit web blog you'd be jumping over each other to approve it.
edit3 oops sorry DeltaP42 & Jdash24 you dont seem like total fanbois (just read some of your comments) still dont think its lame tho it might be fake sure but we've seen a lot less legitimate stories here. Fact is we all know it could very well be true. Besides you cant deny this guy sounds like he knows what hes talking about. So why report it?
edit4 all out of bubbles :( and the ignore counts going up lol
How about a little luv from some of the real gamers? Bubble me pls.
It shows EXACTLY what went wrong with the Engineering Team in the Xbox Division, as well as upper management, and why the 360 was pushed ahead in spite of (what we now know) as blatant signs that the hardware wasn't ready.
What's even more surprising is that Microsoft is working on even more hardware, including Personal Computers (something a few N4G contributors and myself predicted a while back). Of course, it would bring up a dilemma of not making any clean-cut revenue for their OS and Office Suite for that particular hardware, but they would have full control over both the hardware and software within that package. I'm kind of hoping that Apple, not Microsoft, wins this strategy, mainly because Apple makes great hardware and great software; Microsoft doesn't seem to be particularly gifted in either area.
I'm also hopeful that Microsoft puts greater emphasis in proper staffing and smarter decisions.
trying to STOP this story.
shame on you.

How does a someone who left the company know what the details are about _CURRENT_ rates of heat-failure? 8bitjoystick.com is gaming N4G for traffic.

This is obviously a Sony employee trying to make the xbox look bad. I've never seen a RROD in person, who knows if they even exist?
