Xbox confirms it's banning Baldur's Gate 3 players due to in-game nudity turn on

[John Elden Ring]

Microsoft has confirmed reports it's issuing bans to Baldur's Gate 3 players on Xbox when their consoles have automatically uploaded video captures featuring in-game nudity, but says it's willing to reverse suspensions "if actions are deemed to have been taken in error" and suggests users turn the auto-upload feature off to avoid further bans.

A week on and Microsoft itself has now acknowledged the situation in a statement on social media. "To provide clarity on Baldur's Gate 3 mature content enforcement actions," it wrote, "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."

So they actively scan captures. Creepy stuff. We'll see if media picks up on it.

Only if you auto-upload it. You have to turn it off.

It's Microsoft, their philosophy has always been one of invasion of privacy, control and crossing all lines to serve their interests.

But there should definitely be articles highlighting this.

Silly ass company. They don't deserve that game and should have never got it.

So pro-consumer!

We will sell you the console, we built in the sharing feature, we licensed the game in full awareness of the content, but if you use the feature WE built into the console during certain parts of the game WE approved to be released on said console, YOU get banned!
