The Adam Orth Always On controversy began in April 2013 when Microsoft's then-Creative Director, Adam Orth, posted a series of tweets defending the rumored always online requirement for the upcoming Xbox One. In response to consumer concerns about internet reliability, Orth tweeted Deal With It, comparing internet access to basic utilities like electricity and dismissively telling users to get with the times. The resulting public relations firestorm led to Orth's resignation and significantly impacted the initial reception of the Xbox One console. Today, the meme serves as a quintessential example of corporate tone-deafness and the tension between digital DRM and consumer rights in the gaming industry.
