Just about everyone out there found this to be a ridiculous rumor and that there was no way Microsoft would be stupid enough to actually go through with it. That is, until today. Adam Orth, the creative director at Microsoft Studios, took to twitter to not only confirm that this was the case, but in the process of responding to user concerns, effectively alienated a large portion of the gaming population with his responses.

He managed to enrage one user, a vlogger named Francis, so much that he took to YouTube with a profanity laden rant that not only expressed his extreme displeasure with Microsoft, but also ended with him taking an axe to his XBox.
