Use Microsoft gaming services on a Microsoft console to upload footage from an unmodified game Microsoft sells: Banned

Fucking ludicrous.

You know what game you’re capturing. You know the content rating. Just don’t show captures from M rated games to people who have restricted access to M rated games. And give an easy opt out on any content from an M rated game to prevent more from showing.

Or, just don’t fucking share stuff without an opt-in.

Playing single-player game alone at home on your own hardware.

Somehow banned from a network.

Okay.

To provide clarity on Baldur’s Gate 3 mature content enforcement actions, Xbox account suspensions are not automatic. Each clip is reviewed by a moderator and, if found in violation of our safety and content policies, actioned accordingly,” it wrote.

Lol the fact that clips are uploaded automatically by default is the problem, Microsoft… but it’s pretty funny that moderators get the ‘pleasure’ of watching these Baldur’s Gate 3 scenes uploaded by users.

Edit: From Microsoft’s website, uploading captures to Onedrive is “standard” (i.e. enabled by default, opt-out).

The difference between Valve and Microsoft is: in presence of this issue Valve says it’s their fault and they are gonna change the opt-in thing for +18 rated games. Microsoft says it’s your fault, fuck you…but said in the most condescending corporate way they can defecate out.

Even those whose consoles automatically uploaded explicit footage could be banned, it confirmed, though in those cases it could reverse the action.

This is Microsoft’s policy of taking all your fucking personal files without your consent to store them at their servers in action. It looks taken out straight from a 10 years old meme about dystopian cyberpunk companies having retarded policies that fuck over the consumer for no reason.

Glad I don’t get this shit on Linux. Why does anyone buy an Xbox these days?

Years ago, I was playing minecraft with a friend of a friend, and we were going to play this one weekend. They never get online. The next time we’re talking, they explain they got banned for three days because they took a screenshot of a minecraft dick

Sex bad. Violence and maming good! Puritan culture.
