Moore Corrects Backwards Compat Crazy Talk
Earlier this month, Microsoft's Peter Moore and his 24-inch guns infamously said that "Nobody is concerned anymore about backwards compatibility." We were left wondering if Moore had been spending more time in the gym and less with gamers. That, or if we was really, really drunk. Or taken over by Sony pod people.
On Major Nelson's podcast, Moore ate crow and even apologized for his boneheaded remark. His 24-inch guns also said that people took "concerned" to mean "cared." Uh, taking it to mean "worried" is better? How about "involved"?
He then said his words caused "trauma" for some (now, that is power), and that he was sorry "for all the trauma I caused the gaming community." Backtracking, Moore then stated, "It's quite simply not that we don't care about backward compat. Boy, do we care about backward compat... We're going to get darn close to that stated goal of every title done."
A new update will hit in about a week and will feature support for twenty titles. Until then, Peter Moore will continue to apologize. And pump iron.
