Xbox Player Gets Banned for 1 Year After Recording Baldur's Gate 3 Scenes

An Xbox player was given a year-long ban for recording nude scenes in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Any clips you record on your Xbox are uploaded to Microsoft’s servers by default and may be automatically flagged as explicit content, as /u/Daddy-Vegas on Reddit found out when he automatically received a combined 390 day (4+21+365) suspension from Xbox Live for three clips he recorded.

His first appeal was apparently rejected, but subsequent appeals led to his ban being lifted after the gaming press picked up the story.

Banned from what exactly? Just banned from uploading videos? Banned from all xbox live stuff? Banned from using the console full stop?

From the post:

as of now; I can’t play any game that requires a network connection (Basically making all the money I put into MW3 over the last 6 months even more worthless)

Company with market cap of $2.75 trillion can’t even plan a fucking feature properly and then blames the gamers for their own fucking stupidity.

Also, I’ll honestly be shocked if MS views this as “bad press” since it was only a few years ago that they ignored all the bad press when it come to banning Minecraft players for things they said in their own private servers.

That still happens, the bad press stopped happening, but people still lose access to Minecraft for what they do in private worlds that are “friends only.”

I think people wanting to say horrible stuff on their own server is disgusting, but what’s more disgusting is the weird Microsoft Nanny State that says you can be banned permanently for that…

I expect Microsoft to stand firm that they don’t give a shit about bad press.
