21st, Microsoft has canceled one-on-one interviews with executives at this year's E3. Many of the details about policies and DRM will be a no-go and one of the only ways to find out about said policies is from the representatives who take to the stage during the Xbox conference.

Gameranx has been keeping up to date on all things juicy in the unfolding drama surrounding the Xbox One, and they caught wind of tweets from the big dog gaming media players, all vouching toward the veracity of Microsoft canceling one-on-one interviews at E3.

Marcus Beer from Annoyed Gamer dropped this line on Twitter, saying...

After canceling the post e3 round table for media, Microsoft are now canceling interviews? How deep a hole are they trying to dig??

Patrick Klepek from Giant Bomb, amongst others, also chimed in, noting that...
Microsoft cancelled my one-on-one interviews with Xbox executives at E3. Bummer.

Two different 1:1 interviews. Was told they simply couldn't be accommodated. Dunno if it's just us or other outlets.

It's not just you Patrick...it's not just you.

On the “professional gaming journalists” boards across the interwebs, confirmations about cancellations have been ringing out loud and clear. This follows on yesterday's head-scratching maneuver that saw Microsoft high-tailing their executives out of roundtable discussions for the Xbox One at this year's E3.

With production cycles just around the corner and policies still labeled, by Microsoft, as inaccurate and incomplete, I don't see how we're going to get a clear picture of the Xbox One for the fall release when information and transparency has been shutdown by Microsoft.

If Microsoft thought they were selling Wii U units like hotcakes on May 21st, just wait until June 10th...there will be Wii U SKUs flying off store shelves like it was a discounted indie game available during a Steam Summer Sale.

Anyway, while Microsoft has made it known that there will be plenty of games available on showcase at E3, I just hope gamers don't let the shiny graphics distract them from the SOPA-in-a-box scheme that's currently plaguing the image of the Xbox One throughout the gaming community.

Seems like Microsoft is doing this to be avoided the obvious questions, can't wait to see their E3 event tomorrow.

So they don't wanna get more hate then they already are? Well I know how they could have fixed it, NO DRM!!! But hey, if they wanna be stubborn and sell Wii U and PS4 instead of their own console then be my guest Microsoft

Taking the DRM stuff off the table would make sense if they circulated full details, like they did on their website.

They don't want all the questions to be "what's the DRM".

Maybe I Microsoft cared about its consumers it's consumers would care about X1

I was once known here as KillerMario, but since I really like Banjo-Kazooie, I changed my display name to show them my respect :)

Were the interviews to happen before or after the conference?

 

 

If they were before than Microsoft may be guessing that a lot of the questions will be the same and/or will be resolved in the conference.

 

If they were after than that's a really really bad sign.

Clearly Microsoft are starting to realise how wrong they have got it maybe and don't wish to be seen to be making a even bigger hole for themselves.

 

The current road they are on possibly leads them to exiting the console business. Even if they change direction they may already have done enough damage to prevent them going beyond third place in this generation.

 

If they don't change direction soon there will be a huge iceberg looming up on the horizon.
