Nice try, Microsoft apologist.

Or, you know, save yourself a Couple hundred bucks and play Titanfall on the 360.

Basically it said the family plan, which was really the ONE thing people were mourning in general, as being nothing more than a glorified demo. And funny enough he was saying he could've worded it better than the executives, but a…
The "family mode" that the xbone fanboys were claiming would be amazing? It was a timed demo mode between 15-60 minutes, with limits on numbers times you could do it.
Dear Microsoft,
